You Always Deserve a $6 Cup of Coffee

Bear in mind that I can't stand the taste of coffee nor like hot drinks.

The author writes: "I thought like this, until I became a 9–5 workday zombie myself." .. "I wish I had that kind of time, but I find some for the occasional stroll to the local beanery."

I have a different interpretation - you always deserve a 6 hour work day (or shorter).

That's two more hours per weekday to brew your own coffee, take a walk, take a nap, hang out, etc.

While the author appears to have a full-time job plus a side-hustle, if I read https://medium.com/illumination/start-your-side-hustle-as-so... correctly. ("I have to force myself to relax sometimes. I’ll spend an entire Saturday inside blogging and won’t realize it until it’s 7pm.")

I grow increasingly supportive of Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" theory, the idea "that over half of societal work is pointless, which becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs

Big coffee (Aka starbucks) in full force on HN today.
