Bbbut the only good engineers are in the Bay Area!!!! /s
- sidlls 7y agoMost of them are in tech hubs like the bay area. I know it's popular to dismiss that view as unjustified arrogance or whatever, but I've actually made a living in the Midwest and other "not a tech hub" locations. The difference in interest and ability cannot be overstated: my colleagues in SF are heads and shoulders above the typical developer I worked with in those other places.
- sparkpy724 7y agoYeah actually you're right, all the engineers in Chicago, Boston, NYC, Raleigh, Austin and Boulder are trash. If they weren't why wouldn't they live in the place with the highest cost of living on earth?
