Seriously? Another One of *These*

Right, listen up. Apparently, some people still think TechCrunch Disrupt is worth a damn. The article – and I use that term loosely – basically screams at you for the next 48 hours to cough up money for an exhibitor booth. They’re dangling “early bird” pricing like it’s gold dust, but let’s be real: it’s just a slightly less extortionate price for a chance to shout into the void and maybe get noticed by VCs who are already bored with everything.

It’s in San Francisco, October 28-30th. Expect the usual parade of overhyped startups, desperate founders, and people pretending they understand blockchain. They’re promising “the future of tech” which is usually just a rehash of something from 1998 with a new coat of paint. There’s some nonsense about “AI” (surprise!), robotics, space tech, and climate tech – because *everything* is AI now, apparently.

If you’ve got cash to burn and enjoy the smell of desperation, go for it. Otherwise, stay home. You’ll save yourself a fortune and a headache. And probably some dignity.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

The Article (if you *really* want it)

Speaking of wasting time and money, I once had to debug a system because someone thought it was a good idea to use Disrupt’s wifi for a critical data transfer. Lost packets everywhere. Everywhere. It took me three days and an ungodly amount of caffeine to fix the mess. Don’t be that person. Just…don’t.
