Definitely this, it's ridiculous how early stuff closes around here and how early people go out. Moving from Mexico it was a big shock.

- derefr 11y agoThis doesn't square with my perception of SV programmers always mentioning staying late to hack on their startup. Do they actually mean that they got there at 6AM, so staying until 5PM is "late?"
- metanoia 11y agoI don't think that it's all hackers. Without mentioning the neighborhood (because this borders on stereotype, and these things usually devolve into an x vs. x neighborhood discussion), I live in a neighborhood where people mostly hold non-technical titles like "marketing manager" and "product manager". And they've all worked out, shopped for groceries, had breakfast, etc. before 9am.
- mahyarm 11y agoEngineers might stay up until 2am, but they stay up until 2am at home because nobody else is bugging them. If they eat, it's gonna be cheap stuff or frozen trader joes food from the freezer, more time efficient.
