Good point, but I'll note that many cities have technology companies that just don't get the press and hype you see for VC backed software companies in SF.

There aren't that many articles about biotechnology in Boston, for instance.

The software paradigm has captured a great deal of mindshare.

Oh, don't worry, in twenty years we'll all be talking about the Good Old Days when computer tech got respect and money, not like all those biotech firms with their trillions in funding and ridiculously hyped valuations.

Genetic engineers will be the new software engineers and software engineers will be the new plumbers.

Plumbers can do significantly better than software engineers even today. We are paid relatively poorly for the economic value the companies we work for receive from our labor.
One I struggle to undo every day!
