> Finally, do your best to avoid situations where a "quick decision" is needed; this is good advice even for "quick thinkers". Fast decisions are often poor ones - the counterpoint to that is dragging something out over many weeks or across many meetings - but putting yourself in a situation where the unknowns become knowns or the scope of the landscape and weight of the decision can be properly assessed is important. What's better is that you will likely be able to have a better paper trail for this.

If you have to make a 'quick decision', one of the pieces of advice I've heard is to try to make the smallest possible good decision that will move the ball forward. Often getting started is enough to provide more information needed to make a better long term decision, but making the best possible, smallest decision will rarely get you into trouble.

As another Nashvillian(sp?), I definitely understand the difference between how a city is viewed by tourists and by locals. I don’t mostly hate Nashville, but I basically hate Broadway, 12 south, basically everything everyone thinks of as Nashville

I've been the first engineer hired after YC (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/smartpath) but I'm most impactful as a people leader. Technical enough to be dangerous, but also empathetic enough to explain technical concepts to laypeople.

Me too! It's only been 14 years years for me but I can still make it through most of it, especially given a little help. It is one of the few things I can remember, even compared to poems I might want to memorize to make myself appear "cultured"

I wonder why that is? Fear of failure produces a stronger memory response than simple desire?

If you're having to actively shape your real life to accommodate your work life then you should be compensated (Not attending events / bringing your computer with you to dinner, etc). Do firefighters only get paid for the amount of time actively fighting fires?

I don't think it is quite the same and I don't have any hard data to point to, but it seems players are being judged by the number of game speed minutes on their legs more than they have in the past. IE, a 26 year old who has been playing since he was 19 might be a star, but will not be worth as much as a he might have been 10 years ago when it was assumed he was just entering his prime.

This necessity of eating after you overate but mis-treated is one of the worst feelings in T1. You know you screwed up and you know you're going to pay for it, because you'll probably spike later and you don't know if it is the big meal you just ate or the snack you ate to keep from going low first. I love pizza, my body hates pizza

I always have 4 or 5 glucose gels in my car. My diabetes kit has a couple more. You learn pretty quick you need to be able to treat at least a couple of hypos by yourself

diagnosed at 25, it happens :-/

Just need Astrophage /s

Wisdom is knowing how little you actually know

Possible, sure, but not ideal. The "fun" thing about T1 diabetes is that every meal becomes an unpredictable situation based on exercise, sleep, stress, etc etc.

Slightly exaggerated, but only slightly: Imagine you could only drink water 6 hours before you got thirsty, but if you drank too much you might pass out (at any point 2-6 hours from now) or if you drank too little you're doing major damage to your body.

Really the only way to manage with that kind of insulin is to live a very, very low carb lifestyle. Its doable, but it limits your variety and leaves you prone to other potential issues.
