I 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...
