Not to dis this posters answer, but what does "local" really mean these 
days.

If a coder is "off planet", then I would be a little worried about 
latency issues, but barring that, I would say we are all "local" 
nowdays.

I've only met two or three coders who were interesting to look at, and 
in the unlikely event you need to look at one there is always video 
chat.

Of all the areas of human endeavor that could divest themselves of this 
silly notion of "locality", one would think that sofware development 
would be among the first.
