I think you are missing the acknowledgement of the understandable myopia that most greenhorn Austinites have. Austin has had many years of tech manufacturing and roots for large enterprise companies, so in a sense it has been heavily a tech hub for decades, but not when it comes to software and startups for which Silicon Valley is known for.
