Sad to see so many negative comments on this article and on the site, totally uncalled for and unfortunately very common with HN comments these days. Give the OP a break. The story about the boyfriend was fascinating. Get over the bold sentences, they're fine. I can't believe we live in a world where someone says something nice and the first three comments on the article are regarding bold text. And yes, some people can't quit due to circumstances outside their control. Fact of life. There's a reason 99% of famous startup founders are white American males - often they're people who come from circumstances where 'quitting fast' on their 'crappy job' is an option without severe consequences. Try finding me a group of famous founders who quit their job when they had dependents in order to go chase a startup dream and I'll be happy to back down on that one. Some people do it tough. It's nice to read something like this that encourages us to cheer up and look at the good side of bad situations. That might not be enough to make life good, but it certainly won't make life worse. |
