Making friends is what ultimately drove me away from SF. I went in knowing one person, whom I relied too much on socially. As he and I were both working long hours, in separate startups, it became more and more difficult to sustain myself and fulfill that personal need.
I loved the size, the atmosphere of where I was living, the noise, the weather (MN kills), the amazing coffee and food, and the lack of need for personal transportation. It was strange in that everyone I met outside of tech was great, while a majority of those who were I really didn't care for (this is being kind; although it's not my intent to state that everyone in the SF tech scene is my enemy). But again, working in a startup, with those expected hours and meeting deadlines, it would've been borderline impossible.
Since this does seem to have roots in the Seinfeld calendar methodology, are there plans to have a before/after of the 100 days? It would probably be more quantifiable and inspirational to see the ends as well as the spectrum.
This will be a great social and personal tool for keeping people (hopefully myself) more accountable for my commitment to learn. Wonderful work.
