    It is noticeable how since covid SV takes this place dramatically less seriously, largely because it used to be the case that getting to the top here got you a lot of attention in SV, but that hasn’t been the case in years.

      I've never worked anywhere even close to SV, so I don't know how true any of this is.

      But the idea that things happen in SV because someone basically got fancy reddit upvotes is sort of concerning.
