One more problem I've noticed in Fresno. Software engineers are not given a stake in the future success of the company, i.e. profit sharing or stock options. In Silicon Valley, that's the norm and is to be expected.

Thank you Business Journal. They just posted a survey to gather some data. From their tweet:

I agree on the part about companies moving away from hosted solutions like for Exchange and Office based applications. Google Apps is such a great alternative and can really drive the costs down especially in smaller companies.

I think we need to get to the root of this problem. That brain drain is a major issue and both you and I have seen it over the years, more now than ever! I think the mentality here like you said has just been the same for so long that’s just how people think it is. And it doesn’t have to be.

We need a “break out of the cubicle” movement here.
