Contrast this with the guy in Seattle who like tripled the size of his company in a year simply because offering remote work options made it super easy to scalp software engineers from his competitors.

Is this guy in Seattle still hiring?

I've been trying for years to get a software job in Seattle.

Its the only city that made me feel "at home"
