I could never understand why Poughkeepsie isn't thriving as a tech hub. You've got IBM hiring & firing employees in droves, good universities nearby, and NYC as a client/talent pool. I can only assume government incompetence or shortsightedness. The growth in tech over the past decade had some clear winners, but any city that is just mobilizing now is entering a crowded pool. Anyone thinking ahead should consider how remote work will change businesses in 5 - 10 years, and start planning from there (schmooze freelancers instead of VCs and prepare legislation that would benefit the employee, rather than the business).
