I agree in general. But you can't give tablemaking one go and say you suck at carpentry.

A reasonable perspective. There definitely needs to be proactive communication and agreement if there are multiple founders.

Trust me when I say that the people who think about whether they can quit are typically worse off financially and at the brink of burnt out.

I "love" articles like this because you can run basically the same content dozens, if not hundreds of times, with very slight modifications.

(I assume you mean Shopify not Spotify)

No exactly a fair question because Shopify is much older and is valued at 70B. For a company to have done it in half the time would have been impressive regardless of tech whereas on average it takes 7 years to become a unicorn.

I do know that Aircall is relatively young, on a good trajectory and runs Rails.

This isn't an article about how to sleep. It's an article about how one person approaches practice.

By now I understand that people who agree and have gotten value from the article rarely comment.

I very strongly disagree and you having to lean on a clinical diagnosis to make your point makes me more sure that I'm correct.

You can't "practice" having an arm if it was amputated.

A classic example of an exception that proves the rule.

Did you read the article? You need to use your will to make very small steps? You can't _just_ will it....

I think most of what we call "sleep problems" aren't actually pathological but are a consequence of our lifestyle in one way or another. and anecdotally those can be solved by lying still.

Exercise is magic. It's improved so many things for me.

Unbeknownst to you, what actually happens is that as soon as you fall asleep the universe is disassembled and then immediately re-assembled a few hours in the future.

Sometimes I think about what I'd do and how I'd get by if I was in Lord of the Rings. While lying still.

I think the general point still stands though. It's just that because you didn't use up your willpower to get started, you get to use it to keep going.

What a comment: asking for empirical evidence on an article that's an anecdote.

Meditation is kind of like sitting still.

I appreciate that you recognize that. I'm not sure if I'm not writing clearly enough or if HN as an audience is a bit pedantic, but most comments here seem to have missed that.

For me the spread between mentally and physically tired was too large.

No TV in the bedroom is also a good rule.

It's 50% a joke, 25% laziness (because I didn't want to have to figure out how to generate a PDF and create a product for ezch post) and 25% an experiment because I had a tip link and over several hundred thousand views I had 0 tips.

Happy to report I've had one person buy the PDF.

Such vitriol! It's safer to assume they're inexperienced than arrogant.

Seconded. Especially A History of God.

He did his job and is getting rewarded for it.

@dang is the flag necessary?

I hope not...

Wouldn't you, at the very least, have to copy repo and change the license text?

It's like a cookbook with TOS that say you can't feed it to machine learning model.

Didn't know MIT had an attribution clause tbh. I only added the second paragraph.

It's an open source license, but not an Open Source one.
