What hard problems related to software and infrastructure WeWork was solving? I can not imagine a single one. Handling check-ins? Counting number of beers consumed?

"Counting number of beers consumed?"

This spring I talked to their software engineering manager/lead at a tech meetup in Shanghai (the guy was from SF) and he said that they plan to hire tens of engineers just to analyze their beer consumption data to optimize supply.

This should be top level comment.

SF is the only place in the country where you could say that with a straight face.

In fact, that guy has probably long since left and is doing his own beer analytics startup.
