  Another one I didn’t think of earlier: drop social media. HN and GitHub are as close as I get to it. Unless you are using social media for a business purpose it isn’t productive and is extremely depressing. Some of recent HN comments have really illustrated that some people hang on absolutely every single word and everything is a catastrophic emotional event. Instead I prefer to think about it as: I have nearly 7000 karma on here to burn saying what I really think instead of hinting (bullshit) about something vague because some delicate flower might unfortunately shed a tear if even the very language shatters their fragile emotional shell. All they can do is downvote me (and some will stalk you on here doing just that). They cannot boycott me on Twitter, Reddit, or Facebook because I have no presence there. Clearly this stupidity doesn’t follow through to GitHub. So it’s completely disconnected from everything in life that actually matters for me: open source software and real life.
