It's kind of wild to think about, that the brain drain that happened to Russia with the rest of Europe in the 1950s is now happening between states here in the US.

It really is. A tech company offered me a position a few weeks back, and it all seemed great until I asked them the location. You could literally hear the sigh in the guy’s voice as he said “Texas”. I have a few friends who took positions there and bailed as soon as the RTO calls were made. It seems the attempts at making Austin a tech hub are hitting some stumbles.
