ElectricMind··on Ask HN: Job Options for software engineer
You have a good dilemma at hand. I mean it is good dilemma to have :)
ElectricMind··on Show HN: I wrote a book about UI [pdf]
Some people will never let go "Gender" out of anything good. Does sky fall down when the book says "him/he"? Does message not delivered? Is book about "Gender" study?
ElectricMind··on Ask HN: What are your thoughts on an app to help introverts make friends?
It will work as long as Gender is anonymous. As soon as it appears, same age old game of cat-mouse begins. Guys will chase girls. It is so fundamental to us, maybe you can find a way to escape this :)
ElectricMind··on Ask HN: Advices for Burnout and Depression?
It is okay you didn't waste time. I know what it feels like.

But I need to know more YOU. I mean where are you from? Are you boy or a girl? Do you have any chronic disease? Who else is in your family? What is your relationship with them? Do you have gf/bf?

You see your life is not separate partition: work, family, friends. Everything is connected and everything affects each other. I can throw some "pop-advice" at you but it will be useless. Also one thing is sure you need to visit Therapist, good one ASAP. Consider it as investment - kind of like going to Dentist, only for your mind. Good luck mate. May the force be with you :)

P.S: Please look into Stoicism too :)

ElectricMind··on Poor in Tech
People don't change. "poor" in mind will always be "poor" even if surpass Elon Musk. What kind of stories one feed himself/herself on daily basis defines him/her. I am just at ease that everyone is screwed in his/her own way including me. Humans..

ElectricMind··on What I learnt roasting 200 landing pages
//I generated about £20,000 in roast revenue, and another £50,000 of freelance marketing work from clients //

This guy made this much money with a simple idea. And he hasn't killed anyone. So even though I would never buy such service or think it is worth something to buy , I don't want roast this guy for earning money. All the best.

ElectricMind··on Ask HN: How to negotiate continuing to work remotely?
I think people try this negotiate but not entitled to remote work.

When you applied for the job , did it say "REMOTE"? If no, then there is no entitlement to anything. You have to agree what company says.

If you not happy then you can find a new job that says "REMOTE".

ElectricMind··on Ask HN: What is your strategy for not being manipulated/pushover at workplace?
I agree with you on this one. Great boss- I think most problems never even bother you. But if leadership itself is 'saving his/her skin' , I think it is time to find new job :)
ElectricMind··on Google can ban your Android app if they think you’ve clicked on your own ads
