That jumped out at me as well, it's always the folks in a private office touting the virtue of an open plan

This is a good blog to read from the start, from Paul Reynolds, the former uBeam VP Engineering:
I've been using Cloud9 for quick prototyping and random small proof-of-concept projects, pretty happy with it so far
Same deal, progress bar goes to almost 100% and just hangs
I wouldn't trust it at all in the market I'm in (Cleveland, Ohio), just too small of a world here

Tried to sign up, progress bar is stuck at 99.3865% :(
I kind of fired off my initial comment and should have maybe thought it through a little more, non competes are one of many reasons holding this region back. Our very risk averse investment culture is probably the biggest one actually (example: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20160204/NEWS/1602099...).
And of course as you said, our brutal, brutal winters.
I was more agreeing with knoepfle's comment in rolling my eyes every time one of these articles pops up and gets shared all over my twitter, linkedin and facebook feeds. There's many reasons a lot of our talent flees the west coast or Chicago or NYC, and we'd rather read these fluff pieces instead of acknowledging and trying to fix the issues that would keep them here.
My admittedly anecdotal evidence is I know very talented people that have left the region to avoid litigation from their former employers and start their own ventures or advance their careers. Perhaps you have a lawyer that can compete with a corporate legal team, most of us do not.
Also, we can't even type "silicon" properly :D

Cleveland, Ohioan here. Just about every tech company requires, and will enforce to the fullest extent, non-competes. We're no where close to being the next silicon valley.
EDIT: typo :(
We outsource our HR/recruiting to a few third parties in a small market (Cleveland, OH, USA), there's just no way I'd trust this. Word gets out fast enough as it is here, among other things that happen behind closed doors that I wish I could bring up publicly :(
Yay Cleveland!
I really liked The Culture books by Iain M Banks.
If hard scifi is your thing, Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.
And can't go wrong with the classics (Dune, Foundation, Hyperion)
Textpattern was the first CMS that I "got" as a front end guy- after wrangling crap like PHPNuke and FusionPHP or whatever it was a breath of fresh air. Glad to see it's still kicking
If you haven't been reading http://blog.dilbert.com/ recently, you should be. It's fascinating

We pulled the trigger on a Leesa (http://leesa.com) and it's fantastic. I recommend them to anyone I know looking for a mattress.
No pushy salesperson watching you awkwardly laying on a bed in a brightly lit open room and 100 nights to test it out? Sold
I'd agree with your theory. Early this summer interviewing for 2 nearly identical positions I was told from one I was too technical, they want someone more design-focused; and I was too design focused, they want someone more technical from the other. Both positions are still open.
Assuming I didn't completely tank both interviews, I got the sense in feedback afterwards they both wanted a magical front end/back end/ designer dynamo and are holding out/hoping for that person to apply.
I think companies initially define a FED role they need, and then in interviews find everyone has slightly different but overlapping skillsets/specialties. Someone says 'hey wouldn't it be nice if we could find a dev that has all these" and spin their wheels endlessly searching for the unicorn rather than hire 2 complimentary people. Especially when they're already pushing their budget limits.
On the moon nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks.

Measured the PD myself, totally worth it

Hey fellow Clevelander here, if you're interested just last week someone hit me up for some long term (3-6 months) JS contract work. Contact info in profile, I have a line on a couple other opportunities but this one might float you while you figure out your situation
Was going to say exactly this.
I've stayed at jobs with an under market salary because I believed in the company/boss, but eventually can't ignore the onslaught of recruiters on LinkedIn with better paying gigs.
It seems to me this mindset comes from not being comfortable with the employees having the leverage over the employers.
