Seriously? More Marketing Bullshit

Right, listen up, you waste of processing cycles. TechCrunch is having another goddamn sale before their Disrupt thing. Apparently, if you buy tickets now – because deadlines are SO important – you can save up to $624. $624! Like that’s a life-altering sum. It’s for various ticket types, from the basic “lookie” pass to the full-blown “networking and pretending” experience.

They’re pushing lifetime passes (because who *doesn’t* need a lifetime commitment to TechCrunch?), standard passes, and student tickets. There are bundles too, naturally, because gouging people in multiple ways is apparently good business. The sale ends October 24th, so get your credit card ready if you’re into that sort of thing.

Honestly? It’s a conference. A *conference*. People pay ridiculous amounts of money to listen to VCs talk about disruption while simultaneously being the most disrupted people in the room. Don’t even get me started on the startups hoping for funding… it’s just… pathetic.

Fine, here’s the link if you absolutely *must* throw your money away: https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/17/last-flash-sale-before-techcrunch-disrupt-2025-doors-open-save-up-to-624/

Speaking of wasting money, I once had to debug a system where someone spent $30,000 on a “premium” firewall that was literally just a router with a fancy GUI. Thirty *thousand* dollars. I fixed it by installing iptables and telling them they were idiots. Good times.
