>silicon valley doesn't produce much hardware (evidence for this being true? obviously we hear a ton about software, but what about tesla, intel, nest, apple, google, etc?)

They are producing less hardware because hardware is becoming increasingly integrated as software: >The hardware world tends to move into software form at the speed of light. -Marshall McLuhan
