This has been going on in MMORPG's for years, at least there it's a bit more up-front and transparent. And people can do other things to pass the time while they wait for the fake girlfriend to login. :)

I heard Gene Kranz[1] talk one day on the Apollo 13 mission[2]. And most people came away with the famous take away "Failure Is Not an Option" but I came away thinking how Gene was the calmest person I've ever met. I imagin

All I can say is when you work at your passion you don't work a day of your life. I love hacking tech even on the weekends and after hours. If you don't then you might want to consider a new career. I think a big part of why 30 y
