> Do I suddenly become better if I move to SF?

You probably do - you're probably hanging out with other programmers more, maybe you can meet up with colleagues sometimes - or, even better, suppliers and clients.

And you have more options for other employers, so you can capture more of the spread as producer surplus rather than consumer surplus.



Also, with a large pool of developers, employers get better matched with employees, creating more value. (At least this is true hypothetically. Maybe it was true before 2012.)


Yes, the bay is the only place you can hang out with programmers or meet with suppliers and clients.


It's exponentially better at it.
