care to share any sources? or did you just make this up?

Make what up, The Tesla link? I just asked the question, I have no info either way, notice I said "Wonder if".

> rapidly approaching sf status. That should be a quantifiable metric?

Austin has seen a 40+ % increase in tech jobs in a decade and has recently attracted major companies like Tesla and oracle to headquarter there while the majority of FAANG companies are building large campuses there.

This site does a pretty good job: https://sfciti.org/sf-tech-exodus/

Article from the SF Chronicle: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Austin-COVID-tec...

Hopefully that addresses your question as to why I hold this opinion.

Yes, they made it up

According to wikipedia/some google-fu SV has just above double the high tech jobs as Austin

That would be way more high tech jobs in Austin per capita.

According to wikipedia/some google-fu Silicon Valley has a population of ~ 3 million people while Austin has a population of just under a million. Your numbers support my comment that you say I "Just made up"

The main take-way is, the design of the system is not fluid enough to scale up or down based on the demand. Rather, it has too many bottlenecks for it to choke and eventually die.

can you replicate the same culture?

lol. I worked at Amazon as a SDE and this reply is from Typical shit EM from Amazon. Empathy triumphs your weird corporate logic. Don't just work backwards putting yourself in the customer shoes, learn to work backwards from your report's shoes too.
