i can see why so many tech bros moved to nyc. sf is boring af esp after "ai gold rush". full of midwits and midtakes. no net new meta that i've not heard online.

i'm more convinced that being in sf only matters if you're:
1. selling/partnering to/with companies in sf
2. have reached eol and looking to get acquired
3. in between raises/vc things


Balaji is right once again. the internet is the new silicon valley

imo highest concentration of serious founders / capita and ecosystem & culture that understands startups. hard to beat
