the AI boom is enough on its own for this to be true, but it seems true for many other categories too. the most impressive technical people seem to be moving here again, and the quality of conversations remains higher than anywhere else i've found.

We need to get good people in leadership to fight back against this! Innovation should be defended

Spicy prediction: sentient dinosaur creatures will open a FTL gate and at 1 light second from earth and demand export rights to Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends as payment.

Austin will be the center of young startups.

I hope you are wrong. All this bs is just adding more and more stressors to it. So it's here under duress rather than the wanting to be here.

As a regular person who lives here, I hope you're wrong. No women go out in San Jose because tech bros don't know how to act. Nightlife died because of this.

As soon as covid hit, you all brag about how they're leaving. Now it's back to complaining. You guys have no leg to stand on. No loyalty. No love for the area. No concern for history or future. You're treated as whiny, entitled tourists because that's basically what you are.
