The work that you're saying you do daily from 7am-1pm, do you feel satisfied about it at the end of the day? Does it create meaning for you on the grander scheme of things? (based on what your personal values are, and you personally find meaningful)

If not, then it's probably time to switch employer, to one that has a product/mission that is aligned with a topic/field that would bring more meaning into your life.

If that's not possible, you could try spending one less hour per day on that job you have, and invest that hour in something that creates meaning in your own terms.

Yes, this looks like a typo in the article. It should be smallest to largest.

For structure and content, start by copying stories you like. Take well-respected short stories, even fairytales, and think what make the stories interesting to you. Then work with these elements to build your own short stories.

For verbal delivery, go find some highly-rated audiobooks for kids, and pay attention to how are the narrators using their voice to tell the story. Then, same as with what I said above, take elements that you think work and that you like, and incorporate them into your own style.

Finally, you need to practice a lot, and try new things as you discover them. Once in a take, sit down and take notes on paper or in a file of what has worked and you should keep doing, and what hasn't worked and you want to improve or stop. Rinse and repeat.

Can you provide two examples of situations or conversations in which you found it hard to trust someone's words?

And if possible for each example, specify what made you mistrust them, and what would have made you trust them.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, do you have two examples of situations in which it was easy for you to trust someone's words? What made you trust them?

The biggest threat to DigitalOcean is that AWS, Google, and Microsoft are all going vertical by designing and manufacturing their own chips. Over times they'll be able to get hardware for cheaper, and also more specialized hardware that uses less power.

DigitalOcean will have to buy CPUs from Intel or Nvidia/ARM at a higher cost, and eventually maybe even from AWS or Microsoft, essentially giving money to their competition.

If DigitalOcean doesn't get into semiconductors quickly, the only two logical outcomes are to either go bust, or to be acquired by a major cloud provider as a low-cost branch, like airlines do.

@trestenhortz maybe share an example of what you mean by that?

Is this happening to you? Are you trying to find ways to deal with a micromanager above you? etc.

Anything else?
