I feel you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Some of my small problems become ludicrously important to me. We all do that from time to time. I don't broadcast these struggles to the world because I know they are ludicrous. I have a modicum of self-awareness. It seems to me she hasn't developed that sensitivity towards others yet. I have no hard feelings towards her. She represents the best and brightest and I wish her well on her journey of self-discovery. I referenced youth in two senses. First, young people have the luxury of time, and two, this lack of self-awareness is more prevalent in younger people. I think I see what happened here. Her family and friends are astonished that she left Google so she wants to explain herself. It's unfortunate she broadcast it to the world, because she opened herself up to critique by people who don't get the context.

> It seems to me she hasn't developed that sensitivity towards others yet. This is a personal journal. She did not corner you at a party and harangue you for 20 minutes.

  No, someone posted it on Hacker News with the title "Why I Left Google," which drew me in. She broadcast it to the world where it reached me and piqued my interest. She could have made it a facebook posting for friends and family only. She probably knew what she was doing and is enjoying the attention. A lot of people would. I'm allowed to make my observations. I also don't have you trapped in a corner reading them. Edit: All I'm saying is that if she had acknowledged her first world problems and made a little joke about them it would have been more attractive. That's it.
