Seriously? Another TechCrunch Thing?

Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, some people *still* pay money to go to TechCrunch Disrupt. I can’t fathom it, honestly. But if you’re one of those… individuals, and you haven’t already shelled out your cash for the “founder & investor bundle,” they’re screaming about a deadline. Tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow.

It’s basically a discount on tickets to listen to VCs wank about disruption (original, I know) and watch startups try not to die onstage. They’re dangling savings of up to $800 if you buy both founder *and* investor passes. Like that’ll solve your problems. It’s in San Francisco, naturally – because everything important happens there according to these people.

They also mention some “early bird” stuff ended last week, so congratulations on missing out on that too. Honestly, just stay home and read a book. Or learn to code. Or do literally anything else. But fine, if you *must* go, the link is below. Don’t come crying to me when your startup fails anyway.

Related Anecdote: I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone trying to use TechCrunch’s website as their DNS server. Seriously. A *DNS server*. The level of technical incompetence is astounding. It took me three hours and an industrial amount of caffeine to fix that mess, all while listening to some exec drone on about “synergy.” Don’t be that person.
