Only 6 Days Until the Tech Bros Invade San Francisco – Again

Oh bloody fantastic, it’s that time of year again — TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is about to drop its over-caffeinated circus on San Francisco in just six measly days. That’s right, six days until every VC, startup twit, and AI-enthusiast with more buzzwords than sense floods the place trying to look “disruptive” while basically reinventing the pawn shop model for the digital age.

This article — if you can call it that and not a glorified hyperventilating sales pitch — reminds you that the ticket prices are about to go up. Because of course they are. Nothing says “innovation” like charging you more for the privilege of sitting through another panel where someone in a branded hoodie talks about “synergistic blockchain-powered pet food delivery systems.”

They’re promising speakers, startups, and “networking opportunities.” Translation: lanyard-wearing wannabe billionaires pretending to be important while silently praying someone invests in their half-baked app idea. And TechCrunch doesn’t want you to miss out, oh no, not when they can squeeze another few hundred bucks out of your pocket before the price “disruptively” jumps again.

So yeah, buy your damn tickets before they cost more — assuming you enjoy paying through the nose for warm beer, cold pizza, and “exclusive insights” from people who think pivoting means changing fonts on the pitch deck.

For those masochistic enough, here’s the link to the impending chaos:

Reminds me of the time some twit in the office asked me if we could “disrupt” the backup process to make it sound trendier. I said sure — right after I “disrupted” his login credentials. Funny how quiet innovation got after that.
