It's clear the comment you're responding to bothered you a lot because your thinly-veiled compliments do nothing but reveal your insecurities. The guy you are responding to is correct - this is more a story of a lazy person taking

As opposed to what? Being another entrepreneur, bootstrapping genius raking in million dollar exits? Are those the only viable life paths these days?

Reading this, it looks like your app was a house of cards because that's exactly how you designed and built it. It was only when it started to hurt your productivity did you realize the mistake. Honestly, who thought it would be a good

I've turned down many $100 million offers for my side project startup. I've even turned down a few billion dollar offers. I'm holding out for $100 billion for my side project startup. I'm a student entrepreneur.

Personally, I try to remain in the 120% range at all times and NEVER dip below 110%. In my experience, just settling at a 100% output level is a great way to get identified as a slacker. As a manager, I've cut many 100%s.

The West Coast of the US is objectively the greatest area for human beings to live on the planet. As someone who lives here, I believe that everyone born here is (or should be) extremely thankful for it, and anyone who isn't born here

People like you who throw the word "addict" around willy-nilly like that have no idea what addiction truly means. You got sick once and now you march around proclaiming "I was an addict", despite the opinions of nearly e

I don't mean to diminish your experience... but "pure unadulterated hell" is having a SO that loves you, a stable place to live, sleep, and eat, as well as a stable career? If all of that is what "pure, unadulterated hel

I would pay for a monthly subscription for any teenager's monthly mailed "box" service. I currently subscribe to over 3 dozen such services. It's sort of an addiction... Anyway, if you are a young entrepreneur building a

What is the point of threads like this? Is the OP trying to be witty or humorous? I don't believe these threads contribute to any discussions on this website. They are deliberately created as a joke.
