Location really is everything. I have a Bay Area idealism but I live in Boise, Idaho. Which for the last 20 years was more like the scenery of Napoleon Dynamite

Location really is everything. I have a Bay Area idealism but I live in Boise, Idaho. Which for the last 20 years was more like the scenery of Napoleon Dynamite than say, Austin or Boulder. But it's been gentrifying extremely rapidly for the last 5 years or so. There's talk of it being the next Silicon Valley. But good news feels like bad news for me, and I'm in mourning about the loss of heritage.
- boring_twenties 7y agoI wouldn't get too excited. There are many tech companies here in Salt Lake City, but they all pay shit. The last ad I looked at was offering $40-60 an hour... for an "expert" in both C++ and Rust. LOL
