I'm watching it all with some amusement. I've worked remote my whole career, first because it was the only option where I lived, and then later by choice after I returned to the developed world.

I'm trying to start a company, and I wouldn't dream of doing it any other way than remote. There's advantages and disadvantages, but I don't want to be paying SF office rent, SF salaries, SF benefits, and competing with the unicorns and tech giants in the area. I'd rather draw from a global talent pool and focus on how to minimize the drawbacks and maximize the advantages of doing so.

Plus neither my wife or I want to live in SF. We much prefer Vancouver. I'd move if it were really necessary for the business, but I'm glad that doesn't seem to be true.

But I'd just work at a company that pays SF salaries (or almost), but working remotely. Why doesn't everyone just do that? I think that will happen more because right now, SF people are all working remotely anyway.

What are you working on?

Kind of a zapier thing, but aimed at developers ( so different power vs ease of use tradeoff). Will be at apimate.com when I launch it.

Interestingly zapier are a remote company.
