This is something I misunderstood for a long time. The value of SF isn’t finding 100 people who can write Python. It’s finding the person who led the team that did exactly what you need at Google and can spin up the team to do it like it’s second nature.https://twitter.com/angiemeeker/status/1013893486557499393 …

More then the experience of one person, it’s the informal social networks they have of others who have done everything before. You’re not just getting the experience of one exec, engineer, etc it’s the collective experience of their friends and contacts as well.

Informal social networks aren't bound by geography. I think this is about longing for an age of talent clustering that made hiring, building teams etc feel organically serendipitous, & that made one's social network a work of art.

You're right. They aren't bound by geography. I'm the first to push for remote work. But creating and maintaining relationships is a challenging. It's even harder when it's online instead of IRL.

For sure. Clarity about whether this focus on the local comes from nostalgia or actual need is critical, though.
