I installed an app called “Blind” which is an anonymous social network for SV software engineers. The amount of self doubt, envy, complaining about not being able to work FAANG / feeling underpaid despite working at FAANG is exhausting. So many people in this industry have a toxic mentality.

Blind self-selects for the worst of these attitudes (in addition to the general shittiness of almost any anonymous community). I would not take this as representative of SV. The private forum for my company is amazingly toxic.

Blind is terrible. I think only the toxic ones stick around though. I doubt most people are like this.

Blind is full jerks. Don’t take their advice as gospel.
