You need the money to survive and none of the tech or business will matter in the end. Optimize accordingly.

If that is the case, you would end your life (as it doesn’t matter) or optimise the hell out of the apparently miserable time working like I said. Or maybe it does matter and people do pick jobs based on other factors IF they have the choice. And GP was talking about people with a choice as it seems choiceless people don’t hang on HN.

Or just coast, as others in the thread have mentioned. It is a perfectly fine choice if you can make it work.

If you “just cannot belief it’s true,” get out more. You haven’t talked to enough people.
