It's not a stretch. A more expensive laptop is generally better than a cheaper one. A good engineer is generally more expensive than a cheaper one. A good doctor... a good lawyer... etc.

Life doesn't give you any assurances. I'm talking about free-market logic and its application in general.
Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. If the dev in San Francisco is not good enough that the market is willing to bear his rate, then he won't have enough work to make ends meet and will move back to Idaho.

The only solution is to learn enough about that you can distinguish good from mediocre. If you just go looking for someone who costs as much as a good dev, you end up running into the arms of con men.
