Of course, PG/RTM could generate a fairly accurate heatmap by running analysis on the webserver logs. I'd be curious to see the "official" results, if they were willing to release them.

Why is it that HN doesn't use Google Analytics? lol, parsing raw server logs are a pain - is there a service that exists where you can upload a log and it will parse and display it in a neat format?

Anyone in Knoxville? :) I knew California would be pretty high up there because of SV but I didn't realize so many people on here live there. For people who are in CA, do you live there because that's where most of the tech start-ups are or because it's a nice place (or both)?

Came out to San Francisco for an interview, and my wife and I both loved it. A year later, I got another interview out here, landed the job, and we decided to move. We tell people it was 50/50: half for the job, half for the adventure. We miss our friends in Atlanta, but San Francisco and the surrounding area are stunningly beautiful.

How significant did you feel the change was from Atlanta? And, as a better indicator, where in Atlanta did you live? I'm from North Atlanta, and I 'm curious to hear. PM me if you don't want to share location data with the world.

I just moved to CA from OK last year. I moved for a few reasons. 1) family -- more stuff to do here (understatement) 2) I don't fit in with OK culture (red + religious) 3) career -- I'm a programmer

I'm guessing this guy was really bad PR : https://twitter.com/_FloridaMan

haha, I love the florida man twitter account! But really, Florida ain't so bad ... I live in Orlando. There's lots of activity going on, lots of meetups, and lots of energy.

> ... and lots of energy.

Unfortunately, much of that energy is thermal... (-.-;)

Questions for those few living in New Mexico: How is the job market for a SW engineer? Do you all pretty much live in ABQ, or is anyone is Santa Fe?

I'm in Las Cruces, 3 hours south of Albuquerque (where I used to live, hence my name). Not too many SW jobs down here, but the few there are are very good.

You should include the territories for the sake of completeness. I know of a few Puerto Ricans, including myself, who frequent this website.

... and "not in U.S.", 'cause it's interesting to see what proportion of readers couldn't participate in the poll...
