Which is a pretty strong vote for building your company somewhere with lower salaries and lower cost of living.

There are a LOT of great engineers in places other than SV, Austin, Boston, etc.

I'd say it's a strong vote for building an actual product people want, which SV startups seem to struggle with.

This has been the bet of the company I work for: Contract Engineers in GDL, Mex. Paying 1/3rd the price of SV payments and still getting awesome talent, while being able to provide very competitive benefits for the region.
