I love the rag-tag optimism & grit in SF tech, but enough yokes have been slipped over its shoulders that there are very few directions it can still pull. It can grab talent incubated elsewhere, it can take advantage of special knowledge, but it (mostly) cannot experiment anymore https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1119342163026821120 …

Sounds sadly true. I'm working with an org that focuses on helping SF companies expand to other cities where lower costs mean more flexibility, and the hurdle seems to be SF co's believing that quality talent exists elsewhere. Feels a bit chicken-and-egg.

Almost every techy who now lives in SF used to live somewhere else, so it should be self-evident that there's plenty of talent elsewhere that doesn't pay $3600/month for a one bedroom. Do they just all think they were unique?
