This is an excellent point and something I've been thinking a lot about lately. To be honest the work I do at Martin's probably doesn't have the best ROI in terms of potential impact. But it is something that I get happiness from (never thought that washing dishes for two hours straight would be "pleasure" but once a week it is a great break from staring at a screen).
Something that I would be interested in joining/starting is going to talk to inercity youth about technology and entrepreneurism. Gonna go look into this

Word. I believe people should do what makes them happy as long as it doesn't hurt others.
I can see how it sounds like a guilt trip/sales, but my intention was to provide a next step for people who are interested in giving some time. Anyway, thanks for reading and for taking the time to post your own feedback. -Noah

Completely agree. I had the "donate money mindset" but I realized it was a weak excuse for my own laziness. Been helping out every Tuesday and it honestly does feel great.
Thanks for your feedback on WP-SVBTLE. Any suggestions for a good alternative?

I think in the future companies will realize they can retain exceptional talent by implementing a four day work week. As more and more hackers get older and have kids they will be drawn to companies that support an actual work/life balance, as opposed to the status quo of "its startup life of course you work 60 hour weeks."

"The reality is if I'm not willing to make such a site on "moral" grounds, someone else will, and they'll get all the money for doing it."
Luckily most of the entrepreneurs I know are taking a different route and creating businesses that solve problems instead of creating them. Nothing is wrong with making money, but I can think of 1000 other ways than extortion.

Thanks for the feedback. It is a sure fire money maker "moral considerations aside" but I think thats the point...I have moral considerations and hence why I am calling this site out for being so slimy.
