Re:Ask HN: How startups changed you as a person? by nness on Thursday June 23, 2016 @04:13AM (#11959512)
Maybe its with experience, and working in a more traditional role for so long afterwards, but I feel like the biggest change was awareness of how long things take to do.

I still see people dive head first into problems and I just think "man, insurance is going to be immense," or "do you know how long that's going to take!" I can't work out if naivety is actually a benefit, or if these people see value or a future I don't.

So really, I see time as far more limited and more valuable as it ever was, and it stops me from picking up new things (for good or for bad).
