Boston brain drain

I had lunch yesterday with Michael Katsevman, a really bright coder who just took a leave from undergraduate studies at Brandeis to do a startup. He explained that the tech market has been so bad in Boston the last few years that his friends couldn't afford to live here after graduating. Even MIT graduates have to move out to Silicon Valley to find a job. Let's hope the tech scene is finally reviving here. Boston sells its brain power to the world, so it hurts to lose any of it. Mike is looking for consulting work to support his startup effort, so I pitched him on building an OPML product as resumeware.
