Typical myopic "bubble" comment. We have talent in South Florida.

The problem we have, is it's a small community. Poaching is out of the question. Cause word does get around. So we interview hoping we nail someone good before someone else does.

But being South Florida no one considers us tech heavy. Even though we are a "banking" & medical center and wealth is everywhere.

I was complaining about this to some state senator a while back. There was talk about creating a tech area in Miami/Fort Lauderdale (they talk about it every year). He told me, "You take care of your yacht here; your computers in New York".

And that sums up Florida's tech problem.
