Sorry, I should have connected the dots to the parent comment. It means he wasn't interested in recruiting new hires from San Jose or anywhere else that wasn't a short commute into the city... unless of course, they agreed to move.

Because it would be a bad hire. Those 50 miles are at least a 90 minute drive each way most of the day.

  Of course a 90 minute commute is a horrible idea. So why would they have to drive? Why couldn't they work from home? If code is checked into GitHub and deployed to cloud servers, why are we requiring new hires to work in the SF office every day? (That was my point.)

    ah, I understand you're preaching to the choir

      :-) I could have also mentioned that this particular co-worker had influence over recruiting and office policies...
