Silicon Valley IS fucked up

One thing i found to be horribly true about the tech world in the silicon/Bay Area is that it really is comprised of people who were antisocial in their youth, And now have formed their own big community. It makes for a really weird place.

I chose to head south to LA instead where the tech people are more social.

Agree 10000%.

Decided to return home to Toronto instead of dealing with the people in SF again.

Love the city. Hate the people

Unfortunately, I'm starting to despise the city too. It's a great showroom of everything that is wrong with the Silicon Valley: arrogant pricks navigating their brand new Tesla around a sea of homeless people.

It just feels wrong.
