Being from Texas I've always wanted to do a start up in Austin, but as the article mentions, there's this pervasive notion that you have to be in SF/SV in order to get any real traction or attract any real talent. Is anyone familiar with the Austin scene and is the article right in saying the community is really starting to materialize into a competitive threat to the Silicon Valley? I'm stuck between trying to go to grad school (Computer Engineering) at Stanford/Berkley or at UTAustin and this article has made UTAustin sound much more appealing.
