It doesn't shock me at all -- It's one of the reason's I got the hell out of SF, and I'm not going back. It's an effect of the monster we've created, the collateral damage of our industry that the lottery winners, the VCs, the media, and the politicians all sweep under the rug. It's an effect of the "don't show weakness" cultural norm that we've created for men, and it's about time we get over ourselves and tear it down.
- JonMR 12y agoYou've lost me. You're saying that the city has real problems which are being ignored due to the successes?
- jowiar 12y agoNot the city - certainly nothing that's can be solved by city hall. But tech as a whole, and even moreso in SF specifically, is a pretty hostile-to-mental-health place to work. Everyone being shitty to themselves (and those around them) because of the 1-in-a-some-large-number-here chance of becoming an instant millionaire.
