We left for Boulder about 3 months ago to participate in one company. Before landing here, I knew vary few about Boulder except that it was a liberal city near the mountains and it was home to the University of Colorado. What we found was a successful tech startup community seted up against the beautiful foothills of the Rockies. The tech fraternity here is unbeleaveble supportive and filled with smart, interesting, and fun people. The mountains are beautiful, the air is clean, people are healthy, and the local beers are awesome.

1) Developers are people, and people can make their own decisions
about what works best for them.
2) Developers are adults, and therefore see #1
3) Developers are problem solvers. What better problems to solve than
those of a young company?
4) Boulder is a great place to live and work.

Given those reasons, why would developers NOT want to come work for
the companies that are involved?

Having traveled quite a bit this last year talking to hundreds of developers, and then talking to the developers around Boulder, I can say that there is truth to that statement.

There is something about a strong community, smart people, 300 days of sun, tons of outdoor activities and a robust economy that has that effect on people :)

That's bullshit. How do you know if they'll be happy? I'm not knocking
Boulder, but don't take yourself so seriously out there. :)

So is life in a startup.

Why would developers move? Because they would be happier. Any there are some amazing opportunities here, even in a down economy.

Sorry, but why would developers decide to up and reloacte to a different city in possibly a different state for companies such as the four that didn't exist until recently? Seriously… tough economy for that. :)
