Andrew Mason?s Silicon Valley Problem: He?s Not Here

Earlier this year at All Things D, Groupon CEO Andrew Mason said one of his regrets was not opening an office in Silicon Valley earlier. The implication was that he was talking about not taking advantage of the superior coding talent, but I took it another way. Being in Silicon Valley is like playing for the Yankees. You get knocked around more than anywhere else, the glare of the media spotlight is more brutal and the expectations are higher than they'd be in any other city. You also get the coaching and, say, run support or bullpen arms that the most outrageously rich franchise in baseball history can afford. If you've got the chops, all of that undoubtably makes you a better player. Don't get me wrong: I hate the Yankees. But I can understand on a professional level, why so many players leave teams I love to go play there.
