"six months of Rails and JS" sounds like the average HN reader. There's probably someone building a Saas with a REST-api for converting text betwen upper and lower case. Join them, post the link here and get your 10 remaining minutes of fame.

No joking, people who wanted to could easily take advantage of this.

> I'm a bit minimalist, and it sounds like you are too. I hate carrying more than one bag when I travel, and the thought of having a ton of stuff I don't need makes me really, really uncomfortable. It's surreal.

To me it's like material things takes up valuable space inside of my head that already cramped more important. It's like even if you don't use the stuff you own, it still takes energy to keep track of it.

The paradoxical thing is that in a way I'm maybe more materialistic than everybody else because I get very attached to things. When I buy things it has to be perfect, and the process of finding the perfect product is sometime so cumbersome that even if it's something that I actually would need, I spend a week researching about what to buy and then end up just skipping it thinking "I managed so far".

Now I gotten so used to this pattern that I've started to actively buy as little as possible just to spare my self from this time consuming process.

> Do you use this "never satisfied" outlook for personal improvement?Do you use this "never satisfied" outlook for personal improvement?

Yes, absolutely. As I don't look for endorsement from other people, and money does not either interest me, that's the thing that keeps me going. If perfection and personal improvement wasn't important, then I really wouldn't know what would get me out of bed each day.

I hate compliments. I become uncomfortable when people say nice things to me because I don't know if they are sarcastic or not. Probably because I'm never satisfied with my own results always thinking about how I could have done it better.

Secondly I hate everything material, even so money. I make just enough money to pay the bills and other essentials, but if someone I know even remotely would ask me for $100 I would never ever think about getting it back.

No one else who can relate to this?

Mask means worm in Swedish. Just saying...

Did this site really deserve its own domain? We (as the internet) really ended up misusing the domain system and the only one benefiting from it are those selling domains.

Why do you need a SWAT team when there's a bomb-threat? Are they going to shoot at the bomb with their guns?
