He does say "until my startup takes off". I don't think this is really that much different from the kid who kept sneaking into a big corp's office (was it YCombinator?) and sleeping under a table in a sleeping bag until he got caught.
He's also wisely doing this during a Swedish summer, where the daylight hours are so extreme that everyone's behaviour changes anyway (well, that's what we get here in England anyhow….)
- gizzlon 13y agoWell, isn't it hard to make a startup take off without ever physically interacting with other people? A few years ago I was writing my master's thesis, and because I was in a hurry at the end and I didn't have any lectures I was spending a lot of time more or less alone. After only a few days with limited human interaction I picked up some strange behaviours. Nothing major. But surely stuff other people with normal social skills could pick up on. Like humming when I was getting my groceries and my small talk was way off. Unlike him, I had access to a shower and clean clothes. (actually, showering each day is kind of a waste of time if you spend it alone anyway ;)
