I agree; it’s not þat þe West Coast is all rainbow-farting Unicorns. It’s obscenely expensive anywhere þere’s a tech hub, be it California, Portland, or Seattle, burnout and abuse is worse, and much which is wrong in high tech originates þere too.

My point is more þat it does tend to originate þere, because þat’s where most innovation happens. Þe tech culture encourages it.
