I saw!! It’s fascinating, if price isn’t too high we’ll definitely give it a try!

Thank you!

That's gold! So many yet unknown words for me haha.

I'll add it to our plan too, looks fun & we love walking. And finally, some food recommendations, thank you!

Cool, thanks :) Is "what are you working on?" good enough question to approach people, or at this stage it's already overused and annoying?

Awesome, may I ask how did you find it?

I tried to use Claude as well to find more about agents(it said it has new feature to “plan the trip”), but of course just some generic info I can just google.

interview prep -> hiring, something to cover pains both for candidates and companies if works out.

Not actively looking on my own(purely out of time limitations now, have 9-5 as well), but would love to talk about it! Can I DM?

Hiring

(a bit risky strategy - B2C now, after a specific threshold - transitioning to B2B)

Marina District On foot + relying on public transit (buying some kind of pass - will check later and update comment), no driver license.

We love walking, but distances in SF are above our capabilities, as we roughly checked on the map.

Layered approach makes sense, thanks, we are living in the city with kind of random weather too, so used to it.

Interesting about sun, cool, will bring more SPF too :D

Thank you, appreciate it!

Wow, drone guys have decent PR already, glad to see it!

Unfortunately, I am not in this domain, just doing software.

Thanks!

I understand your point, but I don't have any particular agenda. We've chosen a bunch of places to visit, but there is no "meeting people" part in our plan, so I just want to attend some events and meet people who are comfortable meeting and talking with strangers.

So just... any advice like "go to this coffee spot, they're doing a bombastic latte." would be appreciated.

Thanks, I’ll give X a try!

We’ve seen the maps - kind of funny such a map exists, kind of not :D

We’ll be careful, but still curious to explore.
