Whoever writes:

The economy of the San Francisco Bay Area has grown at an annual rate of 4.3% over the last 3 years, which is nearly double that of the rest of the USA. With a "GDP" of $748B, the Bay Area would be the 18th largest economy in the world if it were a country; between the Netherlands and Switzerland. Overall employment grew by 26%, largely driven by tech jobs.

    Make open source the standard, whether through legal, market, or social pressures, and get people educated about the fact that coding is akin to writing laws or designing buildings; without thoughtful design and rigorous testing it will fail in ways that may be disastrous. Start a consulting firm that will check a prospective hire's previous work and give an opinion about the whether they are up to snuff.
