Why do they require living in SF?

They plan to make money on support in the future (I believe), so why this model won't work for other spots on this planet?

I think the easiest way to measure WTFs/minute is to be physically located next to the person swearing at your platform.

I doubt this is the business model, it's a form of dogfooding.

If you want lots of feedback, I guess you shouldn't limit the pool so drastically.

Presumably because they want to learn how well their platform is working directly from you every day by being there in-person - like a three month in-person usability test.

Also better for the engineer-- if something is unclear or not working they can just talk to the guy on the next desk
