The cheap easy take: it's tragically ironic that the software running the infrastructure in Silicon Valley is such a problem

Maybe expected though that high salaries there depress incentive to work in these jobs even more than other cities?

No. It is pretty typical for anything gov to be pretty bad. Most dont work there due to how bureaucratic it is rather than the comp. This is what my friends who work in gov say at least.

There is a strong correlation between hiring low end people and being or becoming ever more bureaucratic. Bureaucracy like everything else is there for a reason.
