I left Silicon Valley 6 years ago
Why?
Because it's a monoculture
The most extreme group think of any place on the planet
Show up to a dinner party and everyone is in tech
So what do they do? They start stack-ranking each other
And it's a totally ordered set: being founder of co $100B market cap > founder of co with $50B market cap > managing partner of tier 1 venture firm > hired CEO of $50B public co > founder of $10B co > etc etc
Pure toxicity that nerfs creativty
And then as a corollary, people are especially afraid to speak truth to power as everyone knows their place in
"The Hierarchy"
Reject this nonsense. Stay weird. Think independently. Be honest with yourself. Have fun.

My wife’s great at budgeting.
Unless:
It's on sale.
The kids have to have it.
She’s had a bad day.
We’re on vacation.
Her friends bought one.
It's December(Christmas).
She’s not in the mood to cook.
She needs another item in cart for free shipping.
Otherwise, she’s a pro.

It’s actually criminal how many of these are gone. Amazon and private equity killed so much of American life.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is AI generated. The Sears logo shown was intreoduced in 2004, not 1996. In 1996, Sears was spelled in all caps. The date overlay misspells the month DEC as DIC.

being married is funny because you'll be chilling, having a bowl of cereal, and your wife will say
i hate these bowls, don't you?
and you'll shrug becuase you don't care and she'll say
i do, they've bothered me for a while now. we need new bowls.
and you'll shrug again because you have honestly, not once, ever considered the bowls at all
then a few days later there will be all new bowls in the kitchen.
and you'll be eating the same cereal in a different bowl, chilling, and she'll say
i love these new bowls
and you'll shrug again because you still don't care but she's happier and the cereal is still good and you didn't do anything at all

Marry someone who is proud of your ambition but unimpressed by your status.

Hello again, world!
Hacker News has been pretty quiet on X. Time to fix that.
Starting today, we'll be sharing interesting things people are building, discovering, and discussing on HN.
And let us know what's caught your eye lately. There's always room for another great link!

📍 SF bay area
anyone want to longterm foster or adopt a senior cat? He's living on the streets with painful dental disease, which I can fix. I don't know anything else about his health yet. Business owner of the property he's on is shooing him off and won't let anyone feed him.
