My hack was to start my own product, that way (at least for two hours a day) I get to play messiah for 100% of my own equity

Own product is great, although it becomes difficult to justify bikeshedding variable names and a possible 3rd Rust rewrite when you should be grinding out more hours on marketing and sales.

Or writing documentation for your product.

Did you make money?
I'm there. Everyone else is patting me on the back.
I wish I would have been a video game hedonist blissfully unaware of the world.
Side note: You have less friends as Messiah but more power. I am extremely social, but its really obvious that I'm a 1%er and even 10%ers can't handle that. We have different hobbies. I shape the world/no hobbies, they have more traditional hobbies like fixing and driving fast cars. Basically my friends are other business owners or high status people and we complain about labor quality, margins, and not having time.
