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 …

I worked with the person who created ZeroMQ along with other members of the ZeroMQ community without ever leaving Virginia. I haven't worked on networks, distributed systems and internet infrastructure my whole life in order to sit in the same room as the people I code with.

I assert that given what is happening in the U.S. right now, the idea that the best programmers and engineers are going to keep living in Silicon Valley, or even U.S. at all, is incorrect and a bad bet.

Again, it's not about engineers, it's about executives

I assert that right now 90% of the top tech execs live within 200 miles of Palo Alto. What happens in the future I don't pretend to know

I suppose if your goal is to repeat patterns of extracting value from programmers while building products that collect and sell data, this makes sense. I think our world views are too different to have a nuanced discussion 280 characters at a time.

I agree on your last point. The notion that all that happens in SV is extracting value from programmers and collecting and selling data is just silly, and you know that

Yep a lot more than that happens in SV, that’s true, and surely you can imagine some other consequences
