#12"Fast forward 5 years, now more than 20% of the positions there are open remote work! " At GitLab we think that remote only is the logical conclusion of this http://www.remoteonly.org/
"High speed Internet." apart from that the tools (video calling, etc.) are also getting better.
BTW I think the rise of English is really interesting, I added that https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-remoteonly-org/commit/4bff...

#13SF proper has 70% of "silicon valley" tech jobs? I figured south bay and the peninsula had much more than SF proper.

#14If you combine SF with Silicon Valley you really ought to combine Cambridge, MA with Boston, MA
Yeah, keeping them apart makes no sense. Definitely a single market. If they belong apart, then so do Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Cambridge and Boston should be together, but Silicon Valley and SF shouldn't. I could walk to Cambridge from my house in the city of Boston. There is no way I could walk to Palo Alto from SF.

#16I loved this line from the article "With unsolved US VISA problems for STEM workers, IT companies might have to get creative to hire potential employees." -- Yeah, creative...like paying a living wage for the location. Pay salaries that will allow someone to rent their own 1B (not bunking) and the "shortage" will magically disappear.

#18I hope some policy makers in the government keep a watch on such threads. They will get an idea about the loss of taxes, that these remote would otherwise pay if they were to be employed in the US. Not to mention the social security and the indirect economic contributions. In fact all the anti-immigration camps should get a reality check at this point. In 5-10 years, most of the US tech jobs will be remote and not a dime of the remote worker's income will reach american shores.

Any American citizens working remotely still have to pay US taxes.

because certainly none of those remote jobs would go to American workers, right?
