1/ Moving from SF to Austin in 3 days.
Wife and I have been planning the move since 2019, before Covid and before it became the cool thing to do. But Covid hit and it delayed our plans.
You’ll never guess why (hint: has nothing to do w/ state income taxes).
So why? See

6/ Quality of life — wildfires and air quality. Having spoken w/experts & investors in wildfire prevention, vs 2020 SF/Bay will experience more frequency & intensity of wildfires over the next 5-10 years. Which affects air quality, local economy, and everyday quality of life.

7/ Governance. I won’t go into too much detail, but I do not agree with how the city and state have been handling the pandemic and other issues. I no longer trust the leadership here. The exodus is real.

8/ Austin’s culture. What can you say that hasn’t already been said about Austin. Love the outdoor
, music
, arts
, food
, & nightlife
scene in Austin. And the people are so nice and welcoming!Show this thread -
9/ Austin’s tech scene. To me, SF’s tech scene is like Facebook. It’s mature and passed its peak years ago. Austin’s tech scene is like the Series A company that found product-market fit. It’s on the up and up
.
And if you know me, I love finding opportunities w/PMF early.Show this thread -
10/ Working remotely. Companies like
@Superhuman have proven to work in a distributed fashion. Also helps with recruiting and scaling. (P.S. We’re hiring mobile & fullstack engineers to help us scale to ~400k user waitlist, build Android, support O365, & Superhuman’s Act II

Vivek, Thanks for referencing me. So you’re aware, as you are a hard-working, tax-paying, productive citizen and family man, I give absolutely no f***s about you whatsoever. Don’t let the door hit you, we have plenty of drug dealers and burglars to replace you. Yours, CB
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
