From the book "Learned Optimism": "There is considerable evidence that depressed people, though sadder, are wiser" HN has a lot of smart people on it. It also highlights very different lives from the average person. Sometimes, HN is not much different from entertainment gossip magazines in that people read them and feel depressed that their lives aren't like famous people. On HN, it's possible that people read stories of "successful" entrepreneurs and get depressed because their lives aren't like that. I say "successful" in quotes because it's very easy to make anyone look successful if you just look at a tiny portion of their life. Having dealt with this issue as well, I've developed a course that hopefully, helps hackers to deal with these issue. It's available at https://www.programmingspiritually.com https://www.programmingspiritually.com I'm changing it to a freemium model later this week so there's no need to purchase it. If you want to be notified when it's available for free, just email me and I'll let you know.
