It is explicitly limited by geography. The magnetic pull of the earth on the west coast, because of the San Andreas fault, prevents this from happening there.

Is that not a thing? I had thought "west coast" described startupy, in-house, vaguely agile type of software development, and "east coast" described government contracting, sub-sub-sub contracting, waterfall-style development. Maybe I just picked it up from the folks around me and thought it was more universal.
