for some reason I assumed that he would write about how this trauma would give him a new perspective on what was really important in life, but at the end it sounded like the experience didn’t really change his perspective on desiring to work all the time on his startup and that he was only stepping down because he couldn’t perform 100% and not because this experience changed anything about how he prioritized work/career?
- brazzy 7y agoRead again: he writes that he decided to prioritize his family over work before all of that happened.
- NateEag 7y agoHe was clearly lying to himself. If your job is consuming all of your mental space, which is clearly the mindset he describes in the article, there is none left for your family.
- rtb 7y agoI agree. I find it heartbreaking that the brightest minds of our generation are working on better ways to get spam into people's mailboxes. He more or less worked himself to death just to "enable our customers to deliver a highly responsive, on-demand experience with their marketing and their content." Surely the world would be better off without further optimising targeted spam.
- Theophraustous 7y agoI read this as him sharing this painful experience he had with us, but spinning it to show how devoted to his work he has been. Maybe this is simply because anything I read on LinkedIn gives me that feeling.
