That's a good point, and I've certainly seen those fliers myself. I guess I missed the pattern because I was focusing too much on the more absurd tasks mentioned in the article, like unwrapping trophies or delivering donuts, and on my inherent contempt for the start-up scene and the city of San Francisco.

I'm still doubtful that this represents a sustainable lifestyle.
