When you have the urge to self-destruct, reach out and do something nice for someone else. It can be small, like wishing someone a Merry Christmas, or buying a stranger a coffee. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Also:

- Exercise regularly

- Maintain a regular sleeping schedule

- Eat healthy (recognize when you are self-medicating with food)

- Make an extra effort to groom yourself (wear cologne, shave daily, clip your nails)

I really enjoy your comments. Would you be open to me reaching out to you? My email is also in my profile, if that’s easier.

Interesting point. My impression is that YC/SV is a lot “sexier”, and that’s why people are drawn to Seibel rather than Greenleaf or French/Raven.

The PDF you linked looks incredibly dry; On the other hand the link in this post is very easy to digest and understand.

Just want to say thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is helpful to have different perspectives on this issue.

I recognize that I am my best self. Even at the worst parts of my life.

I stop saying I "should" do this or I "should" do that, and just let life run its course.

Not sure if that helps you, but I've been there man. Email me if you want to talk.

100% agreed. At the risk of sounding dismissive (not my intention) it doesn’t matter whether you’re a “good” programmer or not.

Stop trying to measure yourself or others, get in there and code.

I keep hearing that Google seems to be lacking in the enterprise sales area, but from what I’ve heard, G Suite seems to be doing quite well. What explains that?

This reads like a hit piece. Yuck.

The author's previous article is titled "Facebook Betrayed America". Here's a nugget from this one:

  But what did Sandberg expect when she hired a Republican opposition-research firm?

Immediately after, Sheryl is quoted saying she had no knowledge of hiring Definers.

This seems super click-baity. I'm going to draw my own conclusions from the original NYT report.

That’s in Southern California :)
