  Ah yes creating well paying jobs outside of the Bay Area is painted as bad news More cities and people having access to the kind of jobs SV has without actually moving to SV is obviously a terrifying outcome Nothing tech companies can would ever please the NYT https://twitter.com…

  From the perspective of someone who's worked in tech in NYC since before these companies had offices here, it's fascinating to read about big tech expanding in the city. (And I'm of course glad our tech sector is booming!) https://www.nytimes.com/...

  NY media will gaze at their navels and think this is about tech trends, but its not; it's about (the lack of) Bay Area housing. Thanks to high housing costs, tech can't get talent to relocate to SF anymore, so NYC has become a second hub by default. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Tech companies spreading well paying jobs outside of the Silicon Valley area being framed as “raising concerns” is a great example of how even good news is now framed negatively by the New York Times if it's about tech. Should FAAMNG pay NY employees less? Never leave SF? 🤷🏾‍♂ ️ …

  Superstar cities gonna superstar; but as long as housing supply is constrained the literal rents will go to landlords https://www.nytimes.com/...

  New jobs coming to NYC raises “concerns”. Meanwhile (from 2017): https://nypost.com/... Diversification (not least when it comes to the city's stock of higher rate taxpayers) cannot come quickly enough. https://twitter.com/...

  “The growth in NY is occurring largely without major economic incentives from the city and state governments.” All indications are that massive subsidies are not needed to facilitate NYC tech growth. Let's focus public resources on public needs instead https://www.nytimes.com/...

  “At Google's New York office, highly skilled workers now outnumber their colleagues in sales and marketing.” ... total ignorance. In fact, I'd argue it's much harder to hire a very good marketer than de engineer. Particularly in NY https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Investing in the NY tech ecosystem @PrimaryVC seemed far fetched a few years ago. Not anymore. The secret is out. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  This is also a sign of how tech is changing. As we shift towards AI influenced tech, the focus shifts from engineers and software developers to mathematics How Big Tech Is Turning New York Into a Silicon Valley Rival https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google will soon have 20,000 workers in the city, many in a cluster of offices on the West Side https://www.nytimes.com/...

  If you want to catch big fish, you have to fish in deep water. NYC is having its tech moment and the market is finally getting deep. The rate of acceleration is staggering. How Big Tech Is Turning New York Into a Silicon Valley Rival https://www.nytimes.com/...

  The growth of #bigtech in NYC “has raised concerns about whether the industry is intensifying income #inequality and making New York unaffordable for more people,” writes @MatthewHaag. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  “You have younger engineers and those sorts of people who frankly want to live in NYC because it's a more interesting and fun place to live. San Francisco is turning into a company town and the company is tech, both professionally and personally.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  The 6th graf: “New York City is certainly not anywhere close to overtaking the Bay Area as the nation's tech leader, but it is increasingly competing for tech companies and talent.” Also, “Big Tech” has been in NYC for decades. Moniker: silicon alley. https://www.nytimes.com/...
