Moving to texas as a remote california tech worker is incredibly common, but it mostly comes down to not wanting to pay california taxes. That being said, it's important to note that the majority of west coast tech workers give fuck all about the common good or societal improvements, or they wouldn't work for facebook/google etc
Majority of enterprise tech workers everywhere*
That's why I hate myself enough to do early stage, where you can be a human
It also comes down to the fact that housing in Texas is largely much cheaper than in California.
That's all right-wingers, though, isn't it? Until life slaps them in the tits and all the horrible shit they champion affects them personally.
Very true, though I think in the early days of the Silicon Valley boom most tech workers were liberal democrats, whereas since tech finally became very measurably lucrative, it’s since been flooded by neocons and techno-libertarians
When your first job nets you $250k plus stock, why would you think there's an issue with capitalism?
It's not even that it attracts a certain type, it also makes that type
If one is inclined, one can tell oneself that they are a good person and they are making the company better by being there.
Wow you think they even give fuckall? None of the tech workers I know do.
