Sometimes I feel like the only software engineer with a wife and child. Nice to know the field isn't entirely 20-somethings.

Agreed. We need to start a band or something. ;)

We can call it "My child's angel investor"

"The ride bike to BART then get off at Embarcadero" is what killed me. Here I thought I was a special East Bay flower.

I wish I could ride bart. East bay --> san jose is not a very fun commute. Just what, 6 more years before the south bay bart lines are done?

i ride bart, dublin to embarcadero. sometimes i feel i'm wasting life, 1.5 hours per day.

It's not usually even productive time. I could bust out my MacBook Air and code or read, but more often than not I'm listening to podcasts and zoning out.

It's really remarkable how connected to everything I feel the nights I stay in the city. But I'm not sure I'm willing to give up an extra grand in rent a month, nor the space I have north of Berkeley.

Maybe startups should start taking root in East Bay.
