Holiday hell: welcome to e-commerce.
Redesign, relaunch, rebuild, replatform, add vendors, remove vendors, deal with poorly built contracts that allow for shenanigans because no one in tech signed off on the deal you just made.
I think our whole industry is hell bent on consuming youth and self destruction. No one in tech is immune but some have it worse than others.
- freedomben 9y agoI know a guy in his late 30s that just had a freaking heart attack as a result of chronic stress and overwork. Worst part is his is self-imposed! He is an entrepreneur and does lots of contract work. Sometimes we don't realize what we are doing to our bodies with overwork, stress, poor diets (you know it's true), and insufficient exercise. It's good to get reminded every once in a while.
- abawany 9y agoI agree. I have left jobs that were grinding me when I realized that the end purpose was not something that I felt was moving the world forward. Bill Watterson said the following via Hobbes (08 Apr 92, pg 56) that rings true for me: 'I don't know which is worse...that everyone has his price, or that the price is always so low.'
