This is the time of year in Austin (sxsw) that we load up on a years supply of free promo sunglasses.

The funny perk of being a highly paid engineer is all the free stuff you get.

I don't know if it's an accurate representation of the flow of money but I've always thought of it as the fed sending stimulus money to me directly through banks & VCs.

That always struck me as strange. Getting a high quality branded sweatshirt, just give it to someone who doesn't sit in a climate controlled space all day. Plenty of cold people out there.
