It blows my mind that the internety tech industry, of all industries, is so heavily concentrated in a handful of physical locations around the world. There&#x27;s this vicious cycle where companies think they need to be in one of these places to attract the best talent, and employees think they need to live in one of these places to have the best career options.<p>Sometimes when I&#x27;m at Red Door in SOMA, overhearing twenty different conversations about startups, I want to scream &quot;We have this thing, it&#x27;s called the internet, it makes it super easy to communicate from anywhere! Let&#x27;s go! Let&#x27;s disperse across the globe!&quot;<p>I mean, I get it. Face-to-face in-person communication is powerful for building trust, and the valley runs on trust, but still.
