Let me put it this way. A few years ago I posted a job ad on Craigslist trying to find a technical co-founder for a few ideas I had. I posted it in Orlando's craigslist, in Tampa's, in Cocoa Beach's, then in St. Louis, and just for the hell of it, I paid the $75 fee and posted it in the Bay Area Craigslist section even though I don't live there. I got 2 replies from people in Central Florida that never materialized, 1 reply in St. Louis but the guy moved away to D.C. for a job. and I got FORTY FIVE ->45<- emails with resumes and portfolios attached from the Bay Area. Silicon Valley replies didn't even joke around, they didn't ask for equity or salary or anything, they just wanted to make something together. Those people where ready to go. And you just can't find passion or drive like that from "worker bees" out here. I will admit, I stopped looking and just gave up. Deep inside I'm planning to move out west. I have to. There's a reason why Google, Apple, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, Adobe, Cisco, Sandisk, Nvidea, Netflix, Symantec, Mcafee, Paypal, eBay, etc... all call the bay area home. If Microsoft were here, Windows probably wouldn't be so stagnant and stuck in the past.
