All the evidence (especially salary) shows that there isn't a national dev shortage, but there must be one because the Bay area has problems finding devs.
According to cost of living calculators, I would have to make almost a half of a million every year living/working in the bay area to keep my current standard of living. Are they going to offer me that salary to relocate? I don't think so (and most don't want me to work for them remotely either).
The blame is on the founders who choose overpriced locations and either cannot or will not pay correspondingly high wages.
