That has to be one of the most ridiculous titles.
Nowhere does the article come close to explaining a ‘Detroit’ like scenario.
It does talk about realistic challenges SV must face.
- fakedang 6y agoA Detroit like scenario means effectively an exodus of jobs, which technically is happening in smaller companies due to remote working and stuff - although FAANG are trying their best to force their employees to come back. I don't think we'll get a Detroit, but we surely might get an OnlyFAANGs situation in California, as startups soon realize that value can be unlocked in places other than SV.

- fakedang 6y agoYou are still serfs if your job is tied to your Healthcare and/or possibly work visa, and if you can't survive otherwise. I'm sure you'd find a job very quickly, but I assume a lot of FAANG engineers still love their paychecks.
