I yearn for the Caribbean the way software engineers yearn for Japan

@ssphinxe tbh i think it's always been the case that where you are raised and educated and who you are born to, are mostly determinative of the trajectory of your life. meritocracy has always been somewhat illusory and, as you say, automation will only magnify this

@gregisenberg imo almost nothing started today is worth building unless it’s asset-heavy i.e. physical infra or product. just get to the other side and then figure out what the landscape looks like

being in the US while software is in decline has been quite instructive. it sounds trite, but i've seen how cities like houston and nyc are given their lifeblood by cab drivers, bodega owners, emergency services, construction workers, all of whom are often immigrants. it goes without saying but it's not the people manipulating data in office towers who give these cities their charm. maybe this is reductive. maybe i haven't seen enough of either place to comment. but being immersed in these cities' cultural nervous systems, and speaking with their people, has confirmed for me how my sympathies and lived experience align more with their lives of service, than a dissociative life of technocracy. so there may be a silver lining in the decline of software, because i will be freed to live authentically, such that i too might receive and contribute to the chorus of community

One reason San Francisco is seductive is it's one of the few cities in the world that gives you a Grand Historical Narrative. Great for early twentysomethings. Most cities don't do this, they're just places you move to and figure out your own meaning. SF gives you a role to play.
