A lot of the jobs (barring remote) in non-coastal US are for non-tech companies. There's a definite cultural difference between a company whose product is software, and a company whose product is -something else-. The article's comment about tech being the new factory workers rings true, but more true for that latter case, where devs are a particular kind of cog (a notably expensive one to boot), rather than a valuable asset. Though that's probably less of an issue if consulting.
