I'd guess it will be a harder sell to get software developers in Europe, Australia, NZ, etc. to move to the US.
This is not the problem. You will get the top 1-5% anyway if they decide they want to move to the US.
USA needs to stop this "middle-class-men" brain drain from other countries. It is for your own and the rest of the world good. You guys need to start training the newbies otherwise you will end up just creating more isolated groups of people.
We're potentially entering a period that's volatile in ways we haven't seen in the US in our lifetimes. People in SV need to be working to minimize Trump's power starting tomorrow.

Or easier. Hillary is a face of western corruption to much of the world. So long as Trump delegates the tech stuff properly and doesn't do anything too unusual the moral choice of the US should be easier.

I predict that not that much will change WRT valley issues. His bombastic statements were populist, I don't see anything on the policy agenda that seems it will hit the Valley in any meaningful way. Even if there are some trade-barbs with China ... the Valley doesn't export much there ...
we import quite a bit from China, so tariffs would be painful.

American tech manufacturing is outsourced to Asia, right? Will a trade war with China, for example, impact gadget production and raise costs and lower demand for the gadgets that the valley produces and profits from? If there are trade-barbs with China then I would expect that to hit the valley hard.

Well you wouldn't want a developer that made snap judgments based on presidential elects anyway. Remember that the number of people that have voted for Trump only represent about 1/5th of the population.
