One woman's politeness is another woman's dishonesty.

Find a problem to solve. Don't focus on tools.

You want to do these side projects to show to yourself that YOU can do it. Focus on the problem not on the skill.

I don't buy this. You can have two populations one that social isolates and one that doesn't. You get pick which one you want to be in. Those two populations can't mix.

You solve other people's boredom problem.

What's the alternative you propose?

Scenario 3: You keep your job and have a mild case.

Never underestimate people's idealogical beliefs even under strain.

What happens if someone tries to fix the car and hurts themselves and now tesla enabled that behavior. Safety first.

1. What am I doing that I should continue?

2. What am I doing that I should stop doing?

Don't hate the player hate the game.

It is about degrees. I used to be miserable trying to "behave" and realized that I was in the wrong environment. I was not a fit for that company or that culture. Working in tech has made it that I don't need to behave since most of my natural tendencies are acceptable there. How bad would it be if someone said that you have to become something I am not.

I agree that my comments could be harmful if it was the only one, but there needs to be balance in advice.

The change should be his environment and not him. Far easier to change where you are than WHAT you are.

Or you might find people you do want to listen to. Sometimes you really are the only sane person or THE most interesting person in the room. It isn't you who is the problem but the room you occupy.

Think about this, if you were in a room with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerburg, and Bernie Madoff, how much talking would you be doing?

Not that much.

Writing good content is hard. If a writer could do it, they are rarely going to be writing it to sell. So gaming the system and writing average content (much easier to produce) and gaming the system is the best way to go.
