Ok this may sound stupid but I think there are a lack of words you can satisfactorarily substitute in for swear words. I know this as I gave them up for lent. Also many people (example A: PG) with good vocabs still choose to use them.

I'm also married to my cofounder and the experience is a lot like yours... Startup families are very tight:) Some people say "startup is a contact sport" but we prefer "startup is a team sport". Keep being grateful

We work 6 days a week with sabbath off No fixed hours but try and keep sleep, exercise and weekly update meetings regular. As most people say we either work "all the time" or "not at all". I like it no matter how hard. M

My husband has been balding since I met him at age 18, 12 years ago. I always thought it made his face and in particular eyes/cheekbones stand out. That said, I know that he never appreciates my teasing... As a women who has worked in

My 3D modeller is colourblind. His day job is working for a big mother of a sourcing company that has no idea about this challenge. We work together by using codes for colours. It forces me to be very specific on designs and I think it make

Thanks Sam. For me the note on how you stay personally organised and the last answer I.e 'wait till it's working' were little insights that may make a big difference. Ta!

I think you should work on something that benefits someone else. Then when you get into the workforce you will remember how good that felt and are more likely to make a habit of it. Traveling would probably count actually as it makes you s

It strikes me, as do a few other posts and comments from YC that this is an incredibly American centric view of the world. I've heard PG say "just consider moving here" but without a visa as a startup that's very diffic

I think he is very sincere in his motivation to learn Chinese and its brave to get up there because to us he sounds pretty foreign. People laughed because it's endearing to listen to, not really funny. To me languages are a lot like

Yes. As long as there was a hedge type clause saying if it dropped below a certain threshold it would revert to USD. Sounds a bit like working in Argentina or Zim but those would be my terms.

Campus London has a kind of communal space downstairs but the coworking is through techhub: http://www.techhub.com/ Might help if you are going to be in and around Europe as a few hotdesk options... My fav place to work i

In Asia we have quite a few if relying on your family is still bootstrapping.

Hi I'm not sure if this is useful but here in China realtime chat function for buying stuff is commonplace. I heard a stat that something like 40% of all sales on Tmall are closed via chat - be it wechat or aliwangwang. In terms of l

Can only speak for my own experience. Everyone works long hours but this is the default culture and people are happy to. Unless you have a startup in which case it makes the balance difficult. We have offices in 40 countries and measured

Yes we love facetime (solidarity or something). Personally don't get it. Think our poll on HK a while back proved that few of us are really effective more than 5 hrs a day. That said in China we have to be in the office which means

Good job, did you build it for yourself?

I feel your pain, although here in Asia many work 9-830 and then somehow on the weekend try and do stuff that matters. My experience is that it's good pressure as it forces you early on to be judicious with your time and only do what

Maybe I'm naive but I don't think KS would sell. It's not about the cashola to them and the community (not that I could speak for it) wouldn't be impressed.
