   We disagree. Being ready to make a change and being kind to yourself are not mutually exclusive ideas.

   I dunno. I think you are over generalizing TBH. For some it might be a public service. For others it might damage their mental health. It's highly contextual to where you are in life.

   Re-read my comment dude. I'm critiquing the site. Not the book.

   I guess that depends. Do you want those things and feel like time is running out to get them? If so, maybe not the best for your mental health.

   I'm not critiquing the book. I am critiquing the site.

   Ugh. Yeah I was annoyed at that one. For one, I've been sober for about 10 years. Taking some mind altering substances would probably result in me waking up in a hotel room in TJ 2 weeks later. :)

   You've made a fresh HN account and made a lot of broad character assessments about me from a single comment. I am happy with where I am in life and what I've done with it. I just had a critique about the website having unintention

    I've said this in a few other comments but I'll just repeat here that I am not accusing the author of the site of trying to make people feel bad about themselves. The intent is clearly to inspire. I just think that for a certain c

    I've read it. You're right that it's not an existential panic machine. I don't know that it resonated with me as much as it has with you but it's a good read.

    "Ideal" is pretty far from what I would call my state :) I will however say that I wouldn't go back to any earlier point in my life given the choice. The only thing that I _truly_ miss is the 6 pack abs and being functional o

    I understand the message. I get that it’s coming from a good place too. I’m just saying that stuff like this can make people feel bad about themselves unintentionally.

    I mean that’s pretty much what I said. I suspect it’s not just me as well.

    I’m 45. Wife. Kid. The works. Painfully aware of how precious life is. 20 years ago when I was your age (which btw feels like only a few years ago…) this type of content resonated a lot more with me. I assume it was because the concept of a

    I’m impressed by the beauty of this site and sophistication of the UI. However I _hate_ this type of messaging that does nothing for you except make your mental health worse. I don’t want to think about how many weeks of life I have left! I

    Just so. Having survived several monolith to micro service transitions I can confidently say that you don’t want to go there if you don’t have to. Modular monoliths are the next logical progression in scaling your architecture for the next
