.@sama I agree. NYC is out marketing them as a tech city, but Seattle has all the key pillars: UW CS and design, MSFT, AMZN, Zillow, etc.

@sama plus 50% as expensive as SF/NYC, and plenty of unhappy engineers at BigCos

@sama agree, I'm a big NYC advocate but can readily acknowledge we are over-hyped. Mongo is only real breakout star.

@JoshMaher @thubten @sechrest @jess @danshapiro @sama Not sure if it’s a big adv. People are more risk-adverse up here. They think less big.
.@sama Miami should easily be in the Top 10 within 5 years. A lot of fertile ground here now for startups to thrive.
@sama I would say it's also number two by latent tech human capital as well.
