- dmoney 19y agoThey're coming from opposite situations: startup vs. established business. I wonder: could a startup succeed (make its founders rich) if it was made up of non-workaholics?
- iamwil 19y agoThis tension has been rather tough for someone doing a startup on 'finding interesting things to do'. http://www.mobtropolis.com http://www.mobtropolis.com Part of the reason I started it was because I felt like I haven't really done a lot of the things that others have--part of the whole carpe diem sort of thing. While I have to spend most of my time coding, I take some time off to actually go do the things on the site, to both play test it, and to get my butt out of the computer chair and actually experience things. But sometimes, it's tough because I just want to get more coding done. In a startup, I think you probably have to err on the side of working longer than normal, but I think it's probably spot on to say that even if you're John Carmack, you can only work for so many hours before losing concentration. It's healthy to stretch your legs a bit. And besides, seeing more of the world gives perspective and background--something that attributes to developing taste, but we never give it much the credit.
