Perhaps developers in the Bay Area learn very quickly how much demand there is for their skills and that confidence translates directly to leverage during negotiations, regardless of where they look for a job. There's too many confounding factors to clearly pick out which are significant without much more precise data.
On a side note: Calling them hackers when you clearly mean run of the mill corporate programmers seems like something straight out of an HBO show.

I tend to assume (based on reading bits of code from various news.yc contributors) that many devs (carefully not bucketing myself in this group) here exhibit a level of mastery above a run of the mill corporate programmer.
