I moved to Austin in 2000 and I've been a tech CEO in Austin since 2006 and VC since 2012. I've worked or done business in just about every tech hub in the US, so I have a fairly good perspective on Austin and how it compares to the rest of the nation. All I can say to that guy and many others that decided to come to Austin without any contacts, no idea of what they were doing, where to go, where to live, who to talk to, and with a huge superiority complex is -- "Bye Felicia".

Im kinda baffled people don't realize Texas is hot in the summer. Likebwhat did you expect?

Austin is a nice city. With all due respect, and as someone who grew up in Texas but now lives in NYC, it is exactly this kind of condescension that makes a lot of Texans dislike people from the coasts.
