Seriously? Another TechCrunch Event.

Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, TechCrunch is having another one of their “Disrupt” things in San Francisco from October 18-20th. And they want your money. Now. Like, *now* now. They’re bleating on about “early bird” pricing ending in seven days – meaning if you don’t cough up the cash by September 27th, it gets more expensive. Shocking, I know.

They promise “the hottest startups,” a bunch of speakers who probably peaked five years ago, and networking opportunities with people trying way too hard to be innovative. There’s some AI bullshit track (of *course* there is), plus sessions on everything else that’s currently overhyped. They even have a goddamn startup battlefield. Like we need more startups.

Basically, it’s an expensive way to listen to venture capitalists tell you why your idea sucks and watch people in hoodies pretend they’re changing the world. But hey, if you’ve got cash to burn and enjoy being surrounded by that particular brand of delusion, go for it. Don’t come crying to me when you realize it was just another conference.

Speaking of pointless events, I once had to monitor a server *during* one of these things. The entire network nearly collapsed because some “influencer” decided to live-stream their avocado toast preparation in 8K. Eight. K. I swear, humanity is doomed.
