The echo chamber is very important and as with inbreeding appreciated not for its expected failures but rather for exceptional specimens that narrowly and forcefully focus the group thought's essential truth (there's always a germinal factual core somewhere in there) and approach.

We do not have an echo chamber in NYC. But that's because we don't have petri dishes.

Yeah, i think he misunderstood my point just slightly, which is really that there's not enough serious dev talent that in NYC that actually wants to go into startups. Wall Street is not the only cause, but is a major factor. Ironically, I intro'd that reporter to 60% of the people in the story he quoted, including Carter Cleveland and Cody Brown.

I've been keeping an eye on NYC job postings lately with the idea of switching coasts but I haven't seen that many. What are some good ones that currently need people?

There's always Google. The hiring never stops.

That's definitely an option but I'd much rather get in early on something new.
