He is the founder of a company, and is probably doing a lot of meeting & email work which doesn't necessarily have to be mentally draining compared to fixing bugs. There might be some long lunch breaks in between there too.
(For me, meetings are draining in other ways most of the time)
- vmurthy 7y agoHaving fixed bugs /coding for nearly a decade and now having more meetings & emails,I would argue that if anything meetings & emails drain _more_ energy because of the context switches. You are more likely to do deep work fixing bugs than in meetings in my experience :-(
- theshrike79 7y agoYou might just be an introvert of some sort, sounds eerily familiar from the description Extroverts gain more energy from being around other people and in social situations. Introverts (like me) can handle social situations perfectly well, but need some time to recharge afterwards. Preferably completely alone without human contact. If I spend a day coding and just talk to my coworkers occasionally, during lunch and coffee breaks etc. - I'm just fine when I get back home. If it's a day full of meetings with customers, I'm completely drained and pretty much useless to my family for the rest of the night (at least socially)
- vmurthy 7y agoHeh! I am INTJ if that helps :-) . Agree on the rest of your comments.
