>This is the only place where a cafe is filled with tech people talking about their startups, pitch, their stack, etc.

How many people actually find this appealing?

To an outsider, this is the joke of the Silicon Valley show: everybody is always "talking business" and "crushing it", while the vast majority of "engineering work" being done is mostly useless. The Silicon Valley lifestyle is to me the other side of coin as the Wall Street lifestyle.

I guess if you don’t like software it’s not a great place

If you do like software, it's still not a great place, because of groupthink. disclaimer : worked with a high rank in a FAANG company for several years...loved that microcosm, but quit because of the boredom of groupthink.
