>If you are looking for tech, don't move.

To expand on this: HN's monthly "Who is hiring?" threads tend to feature the same Chicago-based companies, over and over, with very little change. There's no contest compared to the Bay Area as far as variety is concerned.

It's a great city though, and summers are indeed amazing—in part because the other seasons tend to suck.

I feel like the "Who is hiring" is a poor indicator of tech in a city as it is small sample of developers that use HN.

Sure, but it's a good indicator of startup-ish tech in a city.

Thanks. I never thought of grokking the "Who is hiring" thread. This is really helpful. Thanks.
