As someone who lives outside of sv, it seems like they're not describing a site but a place. So while visits to HN can do worlds of good to my intellectual curiosity, this post is a nice reminder that I don't actually have to endure this disgusting mindset on a daily basis. Thankfully.

tldr; you people are awesomely sickening.

Oh yeah, and they forgot to add "How I quit my job and traveled the third world on just a 'few dollars a day'"

cheeky bastards got some variants of it, though:

"How I quit my job and went into consulting" "How I quit consulting and went into freelancing" "How I quit consulting and went into your mom's vagina" "How I quit my consulting job for a month and learned to program and am now making 80k a year writing Ruby apps" "How I quit my contractor Ruby dev gig and joined the Node.js behemoth (and why you should too)"

brilliant

"In Silicon Valley" is on my list of things that deal break a job offer for me. Pretty much the only reason I'd go back there is "actually changing the world" or maybe possibly "my wife has a really good reason".
