Getting Austin to sign up for that would be a huge coup. I don't think you'd have any trouble getting great engineers to move out there, given how many strong tech companies are already there. That would be ideal. But I'd also want to talk to other municipalities and see what terms they'd have to offer.
It's definitely a job development play. These engineers are going to be founding companies that, if successful, are going to employ large numbers of people.
- zwegner 14y agoThis sort of idea is really interesting to me, and the thought of it happening in Austin is quite tantalizing (I wouldn't have to move!). I find it pretty hard to function in typical management structures, though I work better with teams/some sort of external visibility (my personal projects tend to gather dust too easily, though I'm working on improving this). The concept of an incubator-like environment for collaborating on ideas without the extreme focus on growth would be a perfect fit for people like me.
