For sure. I saw your above comment about laundry -- I don't have W/D so have to go to a laundromat about half a block away. I thought it'd be a dealbreaker for me but it's not so bad, I just make a thing of it every 2 we

I have a few 30 day experiments I am setting out to do this year: - No sugar - Daily journal writing - Sweat every day (via exercise and/or sauna) - Contact one friend/acquaintance I haven't spoken to in a while every day

I identify a lot with what you're saying. I'm one of just a couple females on a big engineering/product team and it often doesn't feel good. If you're in the Bay Area would be happy to meet up for a coffee. I unders

While it was probably a legal decision, I actually liked how it worked on an artistic level. As a reader I was trying to piece it together myself. And it also left a feeling of, 'well, this is a specific company she is talking about, b

It's interesting you call out the three entities of employee, customer, and owner. I was just listening to a podcast about the failures of meritocracy[0], which mentions these discrete roles and how we've continued to neglect empl

Can you bring in someone with marketing/biz dev chops? You've hit a dip, it sounds like someone new to the project with fresh eyes could give you and the product a boost.

This looks cool, thank you very much for sharing. However, I tried signing up and got an error message from Dropbox: "This app has reached its user limit. Contact the app developer and ask them to use the Dropbox API App Console to inc

Dating in SF is indeed brutal. I am a gay woman here and have the same challenge. Actually the hardest part is other peoples' flakiness and unwillingness to commit to things. And I'm not even talking long term relationship-level c

Meh. I've run a marathon and several half-marathons while simultaneously not loving the act of running itself. A lot of the benefits come after a run, or from achieving a goal. Through training I repeatedly tell myself (and believe),

Could you elaborate? Seems like this is heavily dependent on the success of the startup and at which stage you joined.

Has anyone else given up TV and noticed beneficial effects? "I replaced all TV time with reading time. TV is full of stories of murder, betrayal, and pain. It’s riveting, but it also messes with your mind. Once I figured this out, I st

More of a meta-comment, but I'm disappointed there were no images in this article that visualized these changes.

I don't actually think that's true. If you're making positive lifestyle adjustments (and not just going on a flash diet hoping for instantaneous results), then there really isn't a "there" to go back to. You gr

Fair enough! I get into the modes you describe too and find it quite depressing. To the point where I've reasoned that the only real and true thing I can do is accept the fact that I won't know everything. The consolation is tha

Get offline. Seriously. Go out for a walk, talk to some people. Lie in the grass and marvel at the sky, trees around you. Why do you want to learn all that you can online without any practical application for it?

Eh, I'd distinguish "wisdom" from "knowledge" in this example. This 20 year old might know a lot more about this trail, and thus be "better" at driving it, in a technical sense. At the same time, a wise pe

Humans are remarkably good at rationalizing away irrational things. There's no doubt we live in a better, safer time now than we ever have. But progress leads to new dangers and threats we didn't think possible. In my above post,
