That was my first thought. How are they ordering pizzas? I could see a backend portal combined with phone calls working well, but I doubt that a stereotypical tech startup is comfortable using humans to order. And if I ran a Dominos pizza store, I would certainly find an automated order by text-to-speech or email to be fraudulent and ignore it.

Datacenter staffing in the cloud is fairly easy; only about 6 or so are needed on-prem for HVAC and hands-on. The rest are remote. Many cloud datacenters are able to be located in extremely obscure locations because of this.

Being a Fortune 500 CISO must be so easy. Corporate expectations are evidently low enough that you probably don't have to show up for work.

1. Get medicated.

2. Set one small baby-step goal each day. (set an appointment today, etc.) Change the goal every time.

3. Change your environment. Move cities or schools if need be.

4. Exercise. Start with one rep on day 1, two reps on day 2, etc. Baby steps.

5. Ask for feedback on stuff. Any positive feedback helps motivate you to learn and do more projects.

6. Seek a healthy relationship.

7. Be vulnerable. Let somebody else that cares about you know of your state.

8. Be spiritually-curious. I'm christian and that inspires a lot.

9. Realize when your "objective observations" are not objective. Don't be blindsided by emotion.

10. Vent your emotion in a healthy and controlled way.

11. Write one sentence about your week every week. Again, baby steps.

12. Never do drugs. This just amplifies your problems.

13. This includes no smoking.

14. If you make lists and spreedsheets, track the frequency you leave the house.

15. Make alarms on your phone.

16. Volunteer once a week.

These are mostly based on experience and personal observations.
