Depression isn't the only emotion you feel when you stop being disconnected from the world. You may come out of it with a greater appreciation for nature, art, literature, etc. You may even have more pride in your work as you become capable of developing a design language and incorporating it into what you build.
- jquery 5y agoI am surprised at the downvotes on your comment. It seems so obviously correct that I can only surmise certain things about HNs demographic. Oh well, it’s not like men in tech are famous for our high emotional intelligence.
- iratewizard 5y agoI don't pay attention to the points on this site. The hackernews I knew a decade ago is dead. What's left is a bunch of middling code monkeys who think this should be treated like extra-pretentious reddit. If I had to describe it in a metaphor, I would say it's now an Asperger's meet up show and tell. It used to be that truly interesting things would get posted here on a daily basis, too.
- jquery 5y agoAs much as to hate to admit you’re right, you’re right. I’ve become more and more disconnected from user base as time has passed. I think I’ve been stuck at around 2k total karma for years now. I know I used to have more points several years ago. Paying no mind to the points is a good idea. Might be an even better idea to mourn and grieve the HN I used to enjoy, instead of fooling around with its rancid corpse…
