Brie Wolfson(@zebriez):I was drawn to Silicon Valley because of people's healthy relationship to work. connection to mission. friends. ambition. financial security. hard work. but also free time. positive sum vibes. pride in being a part of it. joy. this is no longer the case. my friends have gone mad. and there's almost nowhere to hide. refusing to accept this fate, I went searching for safe havens. I found (at least) one in ottawa and spent the last 6 months with @turbopuffer where they've got silicon valley chops, canadian kindness, and danish sense of humor. it's been the perfect medicine. I wrote about it in @colossusmag
