A widely shared satirical thread mocks the average 2026 San Francisco startup experience: incorporate in Delaware before finding a cofounder, stay "pre-seed" for 14 months, hire an AI agent before hiring a human, raise $500k from a guy met at a coffee shop, burn it all on Cursor, Claude and cortados, put "building in stealth" in your bio, launch a podcast before the product, and get acquihired before shipping anything with PMF. The author's verdict: this is peak tech career.
