None of the three people profiled in this article are tech workers. They are investors, or whatever it is that Tim Ferriss is.
To the extent tech workers are leaving Silicon Valley, I'm willing to bet the dominant factor is the cost of housing.

- kelukelugames 9y agoThis really should be the top comment. Tim Ferris makes money by staying relevant. And Peter Thiel qualifies as a political figure.
- tanilama 9y agoWell, this is indeed the biggest factor, no doubt. But it is just too obvious and far less interesting to debate than left/right flame war, which is an escapist fest.
- attaboyjon 9y agoThis should be the top comment. You can tell from the article that the WSJ is trying really, really hard to push the 'intolerant liberals' angle. From what I can tell, the only person cited who really left due to politics was Thiel.
- haxney 9y agoI'm the Dan Hackney profiled in the article. I was a software engineer at Google for three and a half years.
