I thought we were the only one! We had a small office for about 10 employees. We were planning on expanding and buying a building. But then, we just made them all remote and stopped that Texas expansion.
Why? Because it's REALLY F'en hard to have a tech company when power can't be guaranteed.
It's almost like Texas in general is a shit hole and tech companies shouldn't bother with the state in general. I have no clue why there even was a boom in Austin due to the stupidly shit power grid in the first place.
Mostly because for a while, Austin had dirt-cheap corporate real estate.
