the 'data' used is pretty suspicious in this article obviously, international founders moving to america will have a better time raising money and if you're selling B2B SaaS and 90% of your customers are physically headquartered in SF, you're handicapping yourself living elsewhere.. at some level people will just ignore your sales motion if they don't see a san francisco headquarters on the website

i've lived in both SF and NYC and worked on my own startup in both

NYC has a pretty vibrant startup ecosystem but doesn't compare with SF, except for some reason there's way more healthcare founders in NYC (prob bc bay area healthcare scene is dominated by large hospital systems that are impossible to sell to)

but SF is such a disgusting city overrun with homeless people and crime NYC isn't exactly the prettiest either but pick your poison i guess

i personally prefer south bay over SF hope SF gets its act together since I don't feel safe living there

Seems like the author is a slow metabolizer like me. Interestingly enough, it seems that the caffeine half life can be shortened by eating broccoli (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17266520/) - by having coffee in the mornings and broccoli with dinner I've been able to enjoy the mood boosting effects of caffeine during the day and still be able to sleep fine.

Sleep quality aside though, I thought my anxiety was due to stressful job, but maybe it's due to all the caffeine I have in an attempt to be productive.. perhaps something to experiment with myself.

I had this experience making an iOS game. After a few years of making the game, I went back to it, and found that I was unable to get it to compile. I guess iOS games are very warm blooded. Perhaps if I had stuck with a desktop platform or web it would have remained fine? Not entirely sure.

I think they're celebrating a little too soon. A few years ago I lived in a roach infested apartment in Seattle and we used every form of pesticide imaginable, essentially to no effect. We were finding them in our food, inside kettles, etc. It maybe wasn't as bad as the waves the post described.

I guess this quote from the article even admits that roaches have become wiser and are on the rise again:

So, roach numbers are slowly going up again. And if you read publications of the Pest Management Association newsletter, which maybe I’ve done recently, you can see that there’s, you know, there’s some chatter about how roach calls are increasing.

Okay, so I pulled some numbers. I went to the American Housing Survey from the federal government. In 2011, 13.1 million estimated households had signs of cockroaches in the last 12 months. In 2021, 14.5 million.

Agree with the sentiment of this article but the disturbing ai generated images every paragraph were definitely not necessary - do people actually need to see these?

This reads like someone who think startups are structurally dependent on infinite VC money or loose spending due to low interest rates, perhaps because the writer's business is impacted. Nothing about rising interest rates prevents the formation of new businesses. Many great internet businesses were founded in 2008 (Airbnb, Uber, Whatsapp, etc). Let's not forget that businesses are supposed to make money, and it doesn't require that much capital to start a software business.r
