      This is 100% correct. Housing has killed the golden goose that is Silicon Valley, yet network effects (VC, exec hires) don't fall apart that quickly. Solution? HQ in SF + pockets of leadership where possible, distributed everything elsehttps://twitter.com/andrewchen/status/1013877283633934342 …

      1/ Building startups in San Francisco is getting ridiculously expensive. (No shit, sherlock). The NYT recently covered the phenomenon here: San Francisco Is So Expensive, You Can Make Six Figures and Still Be ‘Low Income’ https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/30/us/bay-area-housing-market.html …

      The level of talent we can hire by getting people who used to work at FAANG, offering them 50% what they used to make, and letting them leave the Bay Area is absurd.

      Remote work is still very suboptimal. I hope that there's serious investment made there, now that SF has decided to irreversably shoot itself in the foot

          Remote work is very suboptimal… for whom? For the companies who don’t have to run huge engineering offices or can tap from more than the local talent pool? Or for the developers who can work for anyone anywhere with a twenty-foot commute from the living room to the office?

          Remote work is way more optimal than in office work.

          Like everything, there are tradeoffs in both directions. Office work means immediate collaboration and feedback, where remote work gives people time to focus. There is a time where both are necessary. Video conferencing software has not solved this problem.

          The only collaboration that I think is worse over remote is when you want a whiteboard. We have had great success and satisfaction with everything else. Watching my kids work remotely with their peers makes me think the whiteboard problem is merely a legacy issue.

          They’ve never used a whiteboard so they aren’t trying to replicate it digitally.
