I have kids. A job that I mostly enjoyed. A beautiful and lovely wife. A nice place, and the love and admiration of many people. I have many hobbies: cooking, bicycling, tennis, movies, listening to and exploring music, writing (in my mother tongue), anime, sci-fi, and probably my major passion, learning. Learning about almost anything and keep learning. All of this is ultra-selfish, I know, and I don't take it as a meaningful purpose in life not even as an achievement.

I grew up in the middle of a communist family in Latin America. I was taught many things related to it, but something that impacted my whole life was being an atheist. However, nowadays I have a more agnostic point of view. Religion, god, divinities, supra-natural concepts, and anything that goes beyond the rational perspective have been outside of my life purpose. This was frustrating, mostly in my youth, when everyone had a path for their lives and beyond, heaven, illumination, the sense of community built by their believes, etc. I had to work by myself to try to build that purpose.

Then, one day I realized that not having a purpose in life was liberating, as others mentioned before. I can do and have anything, like what I said in the first paragraph. Not having that burden of purpose is the best part of being a human being. You, literally, can be anything without restrictions. It's in your conscience if you opt to be a dickhead or drive your path with empathy and compassion.

Two times positive. The first time was very painful

Actually all down

Anything on the web is an API. HTTP is an API by itself.

One key aspect is a single source of truth. A place/tool were all processes, requirements and relevant Q&A are open for the whole team, with no gray areas. Use any kind of methodology, but try to keep your team informed about how the general rules of communication and collaboration work.

Split communication in small teams/groups and design just one person per group to deliver periodic status. Meeting with the whole team are absolutely inefficient and costly for the company.

Create a policy where any change must be documented and informed to all stakeholders.

Tools vary depending on your business, but sites like Trello can be really usefull.

I had the exact same feeling. I initially imagined a guy finding new clues to build an open source GC library from a pile of old Java reference books.
