Good article. It adds something valuable to the (anti/)cheerleading body of evidence that a lot of aspiring startup folk base their should-or-shouldn't-I decisions on.

I would add that I know several people who committed suicide, and these incidents lead us who are left behind to build a mental model of suicide reasons.

My personal suicide anecdote model says:

- If you are depressive please avoid:

- * show-business ( esp. if you have early success )

- * entering a heterosexual marriage and having children if you are actually homosexual

I think we can remove the "if you are depressive" from the last one.

I agree very much ! But I would say that then the statement becomes 'general-good-advice' rather than 'suicide agent'
