Yeah, i think he misunderstood my point just slightly, which is really that there's not enough serious dev talent that in NYC that actually wants to go into startups. Wall Street is not the only cause, but is a major factor.

Ironically, I intro'd that reporter to 60% of the people in the story he quoted, including Carter Cleveland and Cody Brown.

Whenever people ask me who does our PR, I just refer them to Matt.

NYC programming talent is centered around enterprisey stuff. Audit trails, triggers, transactions, logs, SOAP, COBOL, messaging platforms/queues, XML, Java, and the like. It's high-talentstuff, but stuff that many in Valley aren't interested.

Start-ups in NYC are increasing. Union Square Ventures is probably a good reason for the push of NYC software startups.

I've been keeping an eye on NYC job postings lately with the idea of switching coasts but I haven't seen that many. What are some good ones that currently need people?

That's definitely an option but I'd much rather get in early on something new.
