The Bay Area gets energized by downturns. Always has. That's because the culture is rooted in innovation. And there is no better time to build. East coast finance on the other hand has a hard time seeing past the markets. Right now is a great time to be in tech!

My previous commentary stands: Before you even fantasize about multicloud for availability, you should be multi-AZ in multiple regions, and have maximized your resilience through proper application design/implementation, thoroughly tested through chaos engineering.
