I have a new hypothesis that I may actually try out: it's the business people that should be in the Bay Area but the engineers can be elsewhere. A lot of the companies having a great deal of success are iterating on the business model, customer acquisition and user experience side of things far more so than on the technology or engineering. I am hypothesizing that it is those people that benefit from being in the Bay Area and that the builders can be elsewhere. In fact they might be better off elsewhere far from the echo chamber and framework-of-the-month cattle (and cost, of course).
