2 days in San Francisco

Some quick observations after being in San Francisco for two days:

• People lives their lives through apps. If the product and service isn't purchased or delivered via an app, people don't use it.
• Work is life. People only stop working for short periods of times and everyone is always connected.
• Socializing and being friends with co-workers is expected. Also it's your most valuable network.
• It's impossible to escape technology. Its everywhere.
• The first question anyone will ask you is "What do you do"
• Things move really fast. I mean real fast.  Time is measured in hours and days, never weeks and months. The world has changed by then.
• Everyone is an investor in something. It's your badge of honor and status.
• Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) drives investments
• Often heard: investor, VC, funded, closed, unicorn, equity, valuation, growth
• Never heard: consultant, mentor, government, failure, sweat equity, profitability
• Haven't seen a suit expect people in pink jackets
• Messenger bag or backpack
• Minimum $10 lunches
• Finally the weather is fantastic!
