That isn't a new phenomenon though, surely? The idea of leaving SF etc. and working somewhere remote for a better life balance has been a discussion for some time now.

The tech companies aren't just in SF anymore. The salaries they pay in for example, Austin, are roughly the same. The living wage adjustment is kind of a joke. A decade ago I could find senior engineers willing to come on for $70K/year. Now it's hard finding someone under $200K that isn't getting $100K+ in equity.
