So how do you spend those morning and evening times? It just seems depressing to have your butt in chair all those hours doing nothing...?

- antisthenes 5y agoSame way people have been doing it for decades. Chit chat with your friends online, have a cup of coffee, spend 30 min listening to an audiobook or reading. And hey, what do you know, it's lunch time already!
- pototo666 5y agoYep. Your writing makes me miss the morning coffee. I used to have a lot intereting talks beside the coffee machine. Coffee was better. Now I have to drink cheap instant coffee alone.
- pototo666 5y agoI read Hacker News and Reddit, or read tech docs, or write some code, or talk with friends. Then I quit. I am making a Reddit for China now. I want to help all those boring souls like the old me :). It is truly depressing. I would never go back. I earn 1/20 of my old salary as a solo developer. I can't make ends meet, yet. But I would never go back. Paul Graham wrote somewhing like, if you fail, you would have to go back to those boring companies. This fact provides a lot of motivation. I can't remember the exact phrase. But yes, that's exactly how I feel.
- civilized 5y agoGood luck, my satanic potato friend.
- tluyben2 5y agoMaybe you know, but if you do not; 666 is a lucky number in China. I was surprised to see the number of beast everywhere when I first visited ShangHai & Suzhou, while it's very rare in the west. From wikipedia: "In China the number is considered to be lucky and is often displayed in shop windows and neon signs".
- deanCommie 5y ago> read tech docs, or write some code How's that not work? I suppose you meant write some code not for your work, but reading tech docs is ABSOLUTELY part of your job...
