Life is so different now for you than it was for me back in 2010 at 20. However, as far as general life advice goes: if you can’t decide on something, pick up a book and read.

I always liked will smith’s advice which was just “read and run”. Simply taking a walk actually is proven to help recall and memory consolidation. Odds are you already know what to do but you just aren’t aware of it.

Hey there...my apologies for this being a bit off topic. I saw you had an older post on Hacker News from June last year that you were looking for freelancers of various levels at your early stage company, Wonder. Wanted to check if you still have some vacancies available? And is email on profile current? Thanks

I was the lead contractor for Wonder. I haven't talked with the founder since last year since I had other projects. I probably will reach out to him this month to see how things are going. Feel free to email me (my email is current) your resume and I'll shoot you an email if and when the founder wants to do more development.

Ah ok thanks...i'll send you an email shortly. My resume is not all that current as I'm coming from a completely different field. I have a Github which is what i'll send you. If the founder has any questions have them to reach out and I'll be glad to answer. Thanks
