I feel the same way but I also think we're a minority. For me, I want to connect in meaningful ways with people. I dislike bar buddies, or casual hangouts with people I know casually. I also feel if you lack any sense of purpose, or a mate,

Just ask yourself if it's true for you. If so, it's highly likely it's true for the general population.

"Apple did not want to allow native apps on the iPhone, and was pushed into it by the overwhelming strength of the jailbreak community. People wanted the better user experience provided by native apps, and if Apple wouldn't allow it, they w

If you stop being pedantic, a car really is a faster horse. It just doesn't the physical nature of a horse, that's all.

Great move. It's time to grow up, ignore the people who complain (let them move on, they won't click on ads anyway), and make some profit.

That's laughable because DuckDuckGo is built on the Yahoo BOSS API.

But that's different. He's waiting until retirement. I'm not planning to wait that long - that's just silly. I'm saying 2 years of delayed gratification at most.

Agreed. Just look at the Techcrunch Deadpool and you'll see many examples of companies that have "Featured in Techcrunch, NY Times, etc" in their homepage, yet managed to fail. Winning a popularity contest isn't what it's all about. Boosts

because like I said it's easy to forget when to do that. Example UIView* view = [[UIView alloc] init]; ...do a bunch of stuff [view release] <-- you have to remember this vs. UIView* view = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease]; Of cours

I spent the first month struggling with memory management, and kept being paranoid about "autorelease". Now, I ONLY use autorelease (well in 99% of cases). I don't get why so many people say be careful about autorelease. It makes things so

Theory: The first pivot to LevelUp was planned partially to change the name to something more memorable. They thought they might as well pivot to something else more profitable while they were at it. The second pivot is just desperation.

Good advice that I need to heed. But what about if first-to-market is the difference between success and failure? What if you really really need to put in 60 hour weeks for the next 1/2 year or else your startup is going to die?

No, I do understand. It's a fake engagement experience - I know they're trying to sell me something. It's like a car salesman who invites you to dinner so he can secretly establish rapport and sell you a car afterwards. As for playing Monop

I don't like this at all. And I wouldn't consider this fun. Where exactly is the game in this? You're just answering poll questions.

I think it depends on how much work was actually done before you joined. If the 2 co-founders already completed the main app/product, and you joined, 1% actually sounds fair. If you're gonna be the one creating almost the entire product fro

Actually I omitted friends because I don't believe most friendships are that tribe-like. Friends rarely have stake in each other's success, and they don't share suffering together in each other's failures. Most friendships wither away easil

I've actually tried that. It's not sustainable for me, personally to have that attitude. There's just way way too many people in this world. I just don't care about 99% of the people in this world.

Ok Point taken. And lesson learned. I take what I said back. Security is important.

Hmm.. I didn't really get that message. I think you're absolutely right. You don't have to sacrifice relationships, happiness, and certainly not health to be successful. But when you're entrepreneurial, you often can't be content with livin

I just want to say.. this is 1 of the most insightful, and meaningful posts I've read in my entire life. Thank you so much for sharing this. I resonated with every single bit. Thanks for not making feel alone in my thoughts.

Oh please. I'm not building anything that requires a credit card, or anything sophisticated. When you have literally just a hundred users, YES I will skip paying lots of attention on injection attacks because the chances of that happening i

That's not a bad strategy. I also believe in "Just get it out and done ASAP and brush it up like heck afterwards". Worry about injection attacks, efficiency issues, scaling after you gain some traction. You can always rewrite later when it

Yes, true, but you still belong to 1 tribe. Nowadays we're lucky to have anyone besides family, or a S.O. who we consider a tribe. It doesn't help we spread the bulk of our days along people we don't care about too.

by Hisoka 15y ago
In a tribe, the tribe is your world (it's all you know and exposed to). Today the world is a billion people. We're surrounded by people we don't care about. We can't be compassionate to everyone. So it all ends up being impersonal

A side effect of losing touch with the physical world is that it wrecks your brain. You begin to feel isolated from the rest of the world. What doesn't help is the growth of cities, and overpopulation. We start to view other people as compe

If you want to change the world, chances are you're going to be depressingly disappointed. I find it best to limit my definition of the "world" to save to: a family, a couple of friends, and hopefully, if I'm lucky: a team of employees that

I like the name. I've tried Mint and find it lacking. It's automated but at the same time, it's not because i find myself having to fix account login issues from time to time. It's become so annoying that I don't check Mint often because it
