No, don't quit! Embrace! That's 14 hours (if I remember correctly) you could have spent working on your own projects instead of being pissed off on HN. The world is full of this, and it's well accepted and nobody questions it - make the most of it.
- aninteger 14y agoI agree with you here. That's a ton of free time. Unfortunately Ed probably posts one disgruntled story each month. I predict he'll post one next month too. He wont quit, he'll just complain on Hacker News.

- re_todd 14y agoGood point. When I'm stuck and management takes a couple days to get back to me and I have nothing to do, I take advantage of this time to learn new things. Maybe I'll read the man pages for "find" and discover a few new tricks. Or I'll read some tutorials on vim and learn some new things. I've learned a lot about MongoDB this year while waiting on roadblocks at work.
