Because throwing money at a problem is always the best way to solve it, right? Why would anyone consider hiring the type of developer they actually need?
Here's the inconvenient truth about startups in the Bay Area... lots of them have basic CRUD apps with little to no traffic that a self-taught programmer out of high school could build. They don't need "engineers" with CS degrees from top schools who are Google or Facebook material.
