        @paulg Let's bypass politics and build tech that makes working with programmers globally as as seamless as a startup in the same office.

        @YuriNiyazov That might happen eventually, but people underestimate how hard it would be. How do you replicate chance meetings?

        @paulg @YuriNiyazov Nothing beats having half a dozen exceptional programmers under the same roof, cranking out code.

        @pseudocode They are mistaken. And not accidentally. They are funded by a consortium of labor unions.

        @davemcclure @paulg Agreed. Better acknowledge that you can't bring them all to your backyard, and become more active in rising ecosystems.

        @paulg How about paying the so-called "10x engineer" a 10x salary? Until then, just seems like an excuse to keep tech salaries down.
