A massive tech company exodus is occurring in Texas, reports show::Numerous Silicon Valley tech companies have settled in Austin in recent years, but just as many are now leaving due to ‘lackluster’ startup scene.
Brain drain due to idiotic state governance will do that
I know, right?
Crazy how many companies have left CA in recent years.
This article is a lot of noise, but very short on actual stats.
TX has been attracting tech biz since the early 90’s with beneficial taxing structures. I find it hilarious how people just started noticing like 3 years ago.

‘A massive tech exodus’ in the headline, then names 3 large companies who never actually moved to Texas, and 3 companies nobody’s ever heard of.
This isn’t journalism.
Science and Gilead don’t usually mix well
“I moved the company here because Joe Rogan said it was a cool place but innovation isn’t magically happening as fast as I thought it would. Bummer.”
I dont think the overlap between tech worker and joe rogan listener is that significant, is it?
The subset of “tech workers” that work on the business side of things, yes
Pretty sure Tech Workers, Joe Rogan Listeners, and Libertarians are a ven diagram that looks awfully like a circle.
Tech Bros, yes. Tech workers, no.
The difference between people who adopt every internet of things device imaginable and people who would never own or permit such a device in their home under any circumstances.

I wish. The city itself is fine, being in Texas isn’t.
Of the examples they give, half never moved there in the first place, several are moving elsewhere in Texas, and one is going to Arizona. Very misleading title.
TechCrunch is reporting that startup founders, like Techstars Managing Director Amos Schwartzfarb, are announcing their decisions to leave Austin’s “lackluster” startup scene.
Who?

This is an off-hand comment, BUT, too true for comfort.
The comments here are such a circle jerk. Hope you all wash your hands afterwards.
Fuck Texas all my homies hate Texas
