Can I bid for the name of this post to be changed? I have been recommending it to people recently and I think the title is misleadingly specific. (And you even already have an alternate title written at the top of the post!)
Reasoning: I think the ‘Berkeley brain drain’ thing is much less of a thing now than it was before the pandemic. It’s plausible that it will become a thing again, but for now, when I’m seeing organizers move away, they’re just moving for jobs; none of them are moving to the Bay. And people also step back from organizing more or less permanently for other reasons, e.g. they have their first child. Or they just worry about what will happen if they burn out. Since the post can be applied to be any and all of these cases and the brain drain one isn’t even that common anymore, I think it no longer makes sense for it to mention that case in the title.

“Replace yourself before you move to the Bay.”
