Did 10 years at 4-6 companies, from startups to big co. Felt like most coworkers were big pussies who couldn’t even change their own car oil. Their time is just so valuable. I was always handy, did all my own auto/home repairs, etc. so took the leap and started buying distressed properties as-is in “bad” neighborhoods. Learned a lot about evicting squatters, keeping homeless and druggies from trespassing and loitering, fixing roofs, replacing leaky cast iron plumbing, repairing refrigerators and stoves, fishing romex up 3 floors, renting to millennials, gentrifying a street, etc.

- CloudNetworking 7y agoI think Op is some parody / troll account. It's too unhinged and it's trying too hard to offend. I don't see any other explanation.
- theworld572 7y agoIs using the word "pussies" trying hard to offend? It seems like a pretty legitimate post, I know many people that think like this guy, only most of them don't read hacker news..
- CyberFonic 7y agoThere probably are some bit wranglers would dread getting their hands dirty the way you did. I would hazard to guess that as much as you had many challenges, you always felt a sense of accomplishment when you completed a particularly difficult bit of tangible work.
