The most annoying thing about the tech giants that askew remote is that they also choose to locate themselves in the most expensive cities in the country.

Here's a tweet today from the creator of Babel on how he is moving to the east bay because housing is more affordable. https://twitter.com/sebmck/status/1064252136349822977 .

If someone who's created that much value is not able to afford an area then it's insulting that tech giants expect us to move there (or have a 2 hour commute to somewhere affordable).

There's this terrible myth that I want to kill; that software engineering is a well-paid field. That's a lie.

Here's something pharmacists, account managers, farmers can afford: 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom houses near where they work.

We can't. We're asked to live in apartments in Jersey and commute 45 minutes to Manhattan every day.

Or we work remotely and are expected to take a smaller wage, where the company can't wait to get big enough so that it can force us all to move.
