I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but “Cerebral Valley” is pure cringe. It has the energy of a third tier tech city like Boise or Vegas trying to “make it”.

You may not like the branding but any other metro region would kill to have the density of startup activity that Hayes Valley is spawning right now.

Obviously most of these startups won't make it long term, but some will, and the connections that are being made among the participants will be an important part of tech for the next decade. I've heard many people observe they haven't felt anything like this vibe in the tech community in a long time.

What's happening in this part of SF (not just Hayes Valley, but more broadly) is definitely important.
