San Francisco

San Francisco is a city that runs on contradictions.

Tech campuses and Victorian houses. Fog rolling in at noon. A bridge painted red that everyone calls golden.

I spent a day here between Yosemite and heading back east. The Golden Gate is one of those things you've seen a thousand times in photos but still catches you off guard in person. The scale of it. The way the cables disappear into the fog.

I walked across it at sunrise when the city was still quiet. The Pacific on one side, the Bay on the other, and the fog doing its thing between. Sometimes the best debugging happens when you're not at a desk.

In the summer of 2023, I was fortunate enough to get an internship in the bay area, and I remember just going to SF every weekend, and feeling like living the life of a tech vlogger.

Everything you see in the Day in the life videos from the Software Engineers, I was experiencing it first hand.
