To add to your counter-examples, Apple is spending $1 billion to build a gigantic campus in NW Austin. Also, PayPal and eBay have been here since at least 2008 and various PayPal pivotal technical teams were evenly or majorly present in Austin. Google is buying more property here for additional technical teams and Amazon has a fairly large technical presence (e.g. PrimeNow) in N. Austin. Edit: $1 billion, not $5 .
