I swear you know me.

I'll just keep it this vague: cube farms, no sunlight, and Soviet-esque buildings are environments I have spent my career trying to escape, so I'm good.

Also that whole 112k layoff IBM did doesn't exactly inspire confidence either.

Well, good for your students! Of course, Pittsburgh has progressed to the point where everyone has a PhD in physics, I'm aware of that.

Did I even question the stats in the city where I have had a continuous family presence since the 1870s?

a masters degree is computer science not a PhD in Physics, kat. You should know that. Probably pays better though.

Pittsburgh might be nearly as smart as Boulder soon. What's the average tech salary there? You live there so should be well in tune with the local geeks.

I don't know that it's any different than Denver, which is listed in the article.
