Not personally. Having worked at startups and having an absolute hatred for Bay Area startup culture, I see nothing good out of it.

From the technology perspective, they're all the same tired CRUD work but with the latest "hipster" JavaScript framework/library.

From the business perspective, the "unicorn" startups are incredibly overvalued and burn through money like crazy. Low revenue business models with unnecessarily high overhead due to the ongoing "who can top best places to work list this year" pissing contest.

Finally, this is just personal but I cannot stand the hoodies and the generic names these companies use.

Check out this rant on startups as well. This one is way more subjective though.

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
