Stripe to move to South San Francisco

It's just my personal perspective, but... I'm still in awe of SV. I simply feel that the time to be there has passed, and I'm late to the party.

So where's the party now? It's happening somewhere. Someone is building the next big thing and none of us know yet. The eternal struggle of trying to predict the future.

Is Stripe's move a bad move? I guess that the execs are driven by the same fear of missing out what the future holds.

SV still feels like a party to me. Sure, it’s not 2000 any more, and property prices are high, but there is still a lot of capital and talent sloshing about. Just staying at a top paying big co for 5 years or so, starting as a senior dev, can set you up with a lot of money

If you create a walled ecosystem within a communist country that straight up bans other competing non Chinese products, you might think that this party is in Shenzhen.
