>Another not so great facet is that a lot of stories are very coastal. It's admittedly not HNs fault because if you're not in CA or NY you kinda feel left out in some respects. I wish a lot of tech companies would go to other places to A/B test new products and services.
Could we chalk this up due to the major tech hubs being on the Coasts? Yeah there is the whole "Silicon Prairie" idea for the middle of the US and there is tech outside the US, but where the majority of the "hot" companies are on the coasts of the US. Along with that, there is some power in doing your testing against a near by demographic that you have a better understanding of.
- brodouevencode 5y agoOh I get it, and part of it is driven by FOMO.
- DerArzt 5y agoAll in all, I will say that I don't mind tech being concentrated on the coasts. Being a Midwest US person, I am happy with what's available job wise and fine with the lower cost of living when compared to the coastal cities.
