In SF? Absolutely

I haven’t lived in SF but man, nothing beats the feeling of anxiety keeping you warm as you step out of grand central in December to a teams message of a lousy PM ripping you apart for a mistake they made. Genuinely made me feel so alive. I love NYC.

If you ain't in tech, then you don't truly belong in SF 👀

I enjoy the fact I can relate to people’s feeling’s and also see that I am not the only who has similar thoughts.

The one thing that stood out is the ability to share different perspectives and not necessarily know each other !

I love this app !
