The interesting thing about this article vs others is that it's not talking about lacking qualified technical people, but "senior executive-level people".
This is just my anecdotal sampling, but I wouldn't assume there's a shortage of tech _workers_ in the area.
And remember, much of the "tech" startup scene is all about pushing automated marketing ideas based on commodity software out the door, not pushing the boundaries of tech itself. This really doesn't require top-tier tech worker talent, just reasonable competence and follow-through.
- Mikeb85 11y agoNo there isn't a shortage of tech workers per se, just a shortage of tech workers that want to work for them. Just like when people complain about a lack of STEM workers, what they mean is a lack of STEM workers willing to work for their shitty wages... In either case, as the offered wages go up, workers magically come out of the woodwork.
