Anybody who has tried to rent an apartment in SF in the past 6 months knows that the city is rebounding fast - avg rents are skyrocketing again and there are lines out the door for 1/2bds. People are locked-in to their covid specials that they outgrew, but can't afford to leave. I watched some friends offer to pay 12 months of rent up-front in cash for a place and still got outbid by another offer. I honestly disagre…

How big is the 996 crowd compared to the total tech employment in SF? Is it really that popular?
But the energy is a bit infectious. I'm happy to see SF on the rise again.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It was a ghost town last time I was there about 6 months ago. You could walk down the middle of Market St at 9am on a weekday because its so empty. The only time I ever saw SF as empty was 9/11/01.
That's because market street is closed to cars now. It's essentially a pedestrian corridor with the trolley/busses.

The plus I haven't encountered before, but "996" is a Google away. In short, working 9 AM to 9 PM, six days per week.
I come here for the conversation.
Your comment would have been better without the needles reminder that search providers exist.

Mid-20's tech guys vigorously prompting LLM agents in the race to burn as many tokens as possible during 72-hour work week (9 am-9 pm, 6 days per week) in order to, paradoxically, not need to work anymore once AGI is achieved.
But it wasn’t immediately obvious to me what was being discussed in this context, to me it looked like it was maybe a reference for to a certain set of postcodes or telephone number prefixes in reference to a certain set of people or some such.
I think the plus threw me.

You are a fucking moron, not only have you no idea about my country but you revel on your ignorance and preen publicly about its inferiority as confabulated by you. You are a disgusting piece of waste and I hope people like you in your country continue their path off the cliff of relevance and power they have chosen. I find you repugnant to the extreme.

You posted this about 19 days ago: "This is the country that takes a 2 hour nap every day. They also have a sleeping contest every year with a winner and everything. And Spain isn't hot like Mexico where folks take 2 hours off in the topically heat and make it up for it in the evening because that's more efficient."
