Good snapshot!
SF, in the post IPO-3.0 glow is sure a short place. It's in transition.
The big battles to IPO and get paid for all that delayed gratification, are over.
These unicorns are made real in all their off-white reality, trailing glitter scintillae as they trot in fresh mud. Of course, not all the IPOs are mainfest, but all can see them coming.
It's like waiting outside the classroom for your friends after your last final of the year, in that early evening light of May, but before they are out of theirs'. The party is coming, but you are very tired from cramming, and your friends are still crunching away. So you sit, watch others plop out of the test, have a cigarette to pass time, enjoy the sun-warm concrete seep into your feet and thighs, and take a nip out of the flask.
That's the feeling I get out of SF now, out of this article. The exhausted biding of time.
