+1 I'm sure there are plenty of us Austinites here, it's just too hot to scroll this far down.

indeed there are, and the heat is definitely killing me right now.

Another Austinite here. Hi adam! Didn't know you were on here :).

I'd have thought there would be more of us...?

Yeah, disappointing isn't it? That's why I just moved to NYC last month.

Hi there, I live in Austin and just went to New York for the first time last week, but didn't spend any time doing tech-stuff. How is the community up there? Was the transition to NYC easy for you?

So far I've gotten an impression that the best NYC techies work in finance and startups are left with those who couldn't get in. It may sound harsh, but that is what I hear from people here.

I miss Austin a lot and I'm not alone: wearing a UT t-shirt in Central Park almost always leads to a random conversation with an ex-Austinite.
