What do you think this means for software engineering in NYC? IMO it's a good thing; more tech talent and the most legit tech company in NYC (besides maybe Google).
But that about the tech economy and SE profession? What will the impact be? More demand for SEs, sure, and more SEs will be attracted to NYC too.
These are all obvious first wave affects, but what will second, third wave affects be?
Could very easily trigger a switch that leads to NYC being the city with more second offices for Bay area companies than Seattle. And possibly over time, NYC gaining dominance in the tech industry beyond what the Bay Area has today.
The largest cities have historically always held dominance in every industry over the long tail, and I imagine that will ultimately be the case here too.
