Kinda surprised Jeremy Askenas (Backbone/CoffeeScript creator) shared what is yet another "cali sux, i'm leaving" goodbye note.

Feeling the SF Bay burnout, too?

Hi Maciej,

2/3 of the staff members are moving to San Francisco. We all agreed to it before making the decision, no hands were forced.

Also, big fan of your writing. Want to grab a coffee or beer now that I'm in SF?

Thanks for posting this. I felt the same way about SF and the Bay Area and ended up leaving for NYC as well. Maybe I’ll see you around!

I made a video about San Francisco and why I left: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li6nZefWZ5w

I left that bit out on accident: I'm in the SF East Bay already.

Lol, I ran out of characters to type Bay Area, so SF had to suffice. Apparently, I made a mistake

Nope!

SF is the only place in the country where you could say that with a straight face.

In fact, that guy has probably long since left and is doing his own beer analytics startup.

Nope. Just moving to a nicer place in San Francisco.

Thanks for answering. If you're still in the Bay, and feel like drinking a beer to our dear departed friend the impostor syndrome, feel free to email me :) it's in my profile.

The parent commenter did specifically write that s/he is "here in the SF bay area."

orbOfOrthanc | karma 207 | avg karma 6.9 · | 2019-12-08 22:41:01

Going out on a limb here to guess you live in SF :\

steveklabnik | karma 91260 | avg karma 5.08 · | 2010-05-24 05:42:13+00:00

Too bad I'm leaving SF on Wednesday... I think annotations are really cool.

bdcravens | karma 20814 | avg karma 2.3 · | 2014-05-30 20:19:23

Now you know how the non-Bay Area folks feel when there's a cool app that only has listing or presence in SF :-)

vincentmarle | karma 2090 | avg karma 3.94 · | 2017-06-29 21:32:33+00:00

I've moved from SF Bay to LA, moved back to SF, moved back to LA (probably going to move back to SF again). Within SF Bay and LA moved a couple times as well.
