    Choosing San Francisco in 2020 is like choosing Java in 2010. You can do it, you might even be able to build a great company with it, but it’s a legacy choice. It’s the default. Proven, but makes it harder to do simple things and doesn’t give you an advantage over incumbents.

        We’re in an interesting transitional era where San Francisco / Delaware is obviously* wrong but incorporating on-chain and going full remote is not yet obviously right. * From a price/performance standpoint at a minimum

        That means on-chain incorporation needs to be systematized. We need proof points, orgs that’ll take the risk & pioneer. And we need new infra. Maybe @AragonProject — like Stripe Atlas, but more radical. The org is defined on-chain, the nation state is a configurable parameter.

        What's the right choice for 2020? Especially if one is building a blockchain/crypto startup and doesn't have to deal with the legal uncertainty.

        What alternatives to Java in 2010 existed that are obvious choices today? Wondering how one would gauge the SF alternative (or if such a thing exists) today

        Distributed Teams...This will be a historically correct tweet. Most of VC Twitter disagrees. But Paul Graham and Balaji I think will be right about SF.

        I’m not clear if San Francisco is being used as shorthand for Silicon Valley here, or if SV has some advantage that SF doesn’t. As I understand it, the argument for living in San Francisco is basically interchangeable w the same argument for, say, San Jose.

        The entire Bay Area suffers from the same housing crisis and cost of living issues. Oakland is the last area left and it’s rapidly filling and gentrifying.

        So, "choose it anyways because it gets the job done and the ecosystem is already there" is how i'm interpreting this
