In this list of recently popular on HN, after filtering the top 100 for "individual", only 3 sites are by people from the bay area (2 VCs and 1 programmer). I found it surprising that this number was so small, but maybe I shouldn't have been surprised? https://hnleaderboard.com/ pic.twitter.com/q1nYJCiIeD
By market cap (and arguably by mindshare), US software companies dominate the rest of the world combined. Within the U.S., the bay area is disproportionately represented in terms of market cap and mindshare despite "only" having about 10% of U.S. programmers.
This line of reasoning actually holds if you filter to "company" -- most of the companies are bay area companies. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that who's widely read is unrelated to what companies are valuable if you look at programmers and not VCs?
(humblebrag?)
Maybe, but also a real question I'm curious about :-).
How many total individuals are in the top 100?
20. And I miscounted (2 bay area programmers and 2 VCs).
Total, my quick count is there are 2 VCs, 1 analyst, 1 @BillGates , 1 Gruber (both Gates and Gruber are hard to categorize), and 15 "technical" folks.
If you'd asked me to guess, I would've guessed > 50% from bay area.
If you go by all time, http://aphyr.com was (at the time) written by a gay area dude
... I'm not fixing that autocorrect 
Yeah, the "all time" list seems more heavily bay area focused. I don't know what I should read into that, if anything.
Congrats on the achievement tho, been reading since 2013, excited to see what's next
