What's going on
In SF, again
Shortly after coming back from onboarding week in San Francisco, I went to SF again in less than a week. This time to attend Discord's quarterly onsite week from May 10 to May 15.
Back home, in Bothell
One thing I noticed immediately coming back this time is the air quality is lot better in Washington than in California. It's not bad in California, but nothing like the moist, sylvan air of the Pacific northwest.
While I really enjoyed the travel, the Discord office, and all the company on the trip. I was tired by the time it was over. I met a person who works at LinkedIn on the way back. He lives in Everret, but makes the journey to San Franciso every week to satisfy the 3 day in office requirement. While that sounds like fun, it is not a life I can endure sustainably.
