Yeah, I am kinda disgusted myself, but I am right on the cusp, and I am grasping at it. That last sprint. I’ve locked in 99.5%-tile wealth, but the next month to six will determine if I can get into 99.9%-tile, where the true game change is.
And I’m under no illusion, if I don’t bag this deal here for the 99.9%-tile (private aviation, super yacht and models) I’ll forever be stuck at 99.5%-tile (first class commercial, upper middle class lifestyle forever without having to work).
Just a little more... broke my way many times... just need this last bit...
Your talking about things I’ve never heard of before, this does sound advanced. Any other things on your stack?
Didn’t quit. Started working 20-30hrs per week max. Let everything that couldn’t fit in that truly slide. Cultivated DGAF attitude, concentrated on self-care out of the office (with extra time I had from working low hours).
Took a long, long time at this reduced pace, maybe 6 - 9 months of thinking “ok, this is sustainable” and eventually got recharged...

And as much as you may personally love the tech industry, it’s perfectly reasonable that some women don’t.
Arguably it’s a smarter choice to go into dentistry than tech.
If staying in embedded will just focus on work experience.
... and no I wouldn't pay $5 per workout on your app. :)
From my perspective, unfortunately, Georgia Tech has really diluted the value of their masters in cs degree. They have become a sort of immigration visa-mill with very many India undergrad -> Georgia Tech Masters of very questionable skill level.
Just my experience.
if so, worrisome.
Is anybody else annoyed by lever.co job ads?https://imgur.com/a/r4gH9they state that they are hiring "an" engineering manager as part of a "50/50 men and women team"well, is this a male quota job or a female quota job?I am all for diversity and all, but this is a pretty big signal of discrimination.Paraphrasing Bill Clinton: "I am a male that works in Silicon Valley, and we all know what that...
I am not sure what type of self-respecting guy would go to one of those things. The lady organizing it thinks your a "potential rapist in a pack"
Dudes, go grab a case of beers, go back to your frat and come up with the the next snap chat.
Men don't need safe spaces.
Seems like there was a lot of hard work put in on making the "khanda-ta" work properly?
Maybe sexism.
The more likely answer is: most founders get less money than they want, in fact most founders fail.
There is under appreciated carnage in the founding game; acknowledgement of this, is one of the things that made PG such a fresh voice when he came on the scene years ago. That realism.
reality is that the founder game is a suckers bet, and one that men take at a vastly, vastly greater degree than women.
Men fail hard, and men themselves internalize the failure(most often) or blame larger forces outside of their control. Either response is fine (they usually don't blame "sexism" but they are plenty happy to blame other conspiracies).
But, when it comes time to talley the toll on men, society is largely quiet, why? Males are disposable.
Women, on the other hand, largely expect to be valued on the mere fact of their personage. They deserve respect for them being them. A noble belief, but one that does not exist in the hyper-competitive modern economy.
>yeah, if I was a professor I'd give your business plan an A-... Does that mean you "deserve" funding? No.
So, I could go on, but until women start throwing themselves into the grinder at the same rate men do, the ratio of men at the top will always be lopsided.
And I say this not as a man that is bitter (I actually won the game against all odds) but I say this as somebody who believes that women's strategies on a whole are better than men's.
That is: men are stupid to take so much risk! It shouldn't be venerated!
The true non-sexism is to realize that women's choices are valid (and probably smarter) and women are more than just "poorly performing men"
