About 125,000 people are without power in San Francisco on Saturday, after PG&E suffered an outage affecting 30% of its customers in the city.
Vast swaths of the city were affected. PG&E said it was "possible" power would be restored later in the day.

From a CTO at a startup:
"We interview devs by giving them a task to build an app on the spot, from scratch (2x BE endpoints, some frontend.) They can use AI, ofc - and we dig into why they did this or that.
What is surprising: 14/15 devs from Meta failed this screening."
