yeukhon··on I'm not collaborating with Kenneth Reitz
Bipolar can often comorbid with another mental illness. If he has a narcissistic trait, he could have a personality disorder. But I urge the community to stop guessing what he has or doesn’t have. Even professionals have hard times diagnosing their own patients. The point, as the author says, is not to circle around mental illness. Let’s skip this part of the discussion...
yeukhon··on People Who Claim to Work 75-Hour Weeks Usually Only Work About 50 Hours
I used to really work 70-100 hours of week. You would see me responding to Nagios emails at 3am. Mind we didn’t use PagerDuty. I enjoyed it because I had nothing to do outside of work. After three years I ended up choosing a different job and have a better wlb.

yeukhon··on Pilot Who Hitched a Ride Saved Lion Air 737 on the Day Before Deadly Crash
IMO, I don't want MAX to be resurrected. If the design is flawed, let it be and shut it down. But this ain't gonna happen because how expensive aircrafts are.

Oh well.

yeukhon··on PagerDuty S-1
The market is still hot. You don't want to go IPO at say $50 and no trades. When the market crash everything will crash along with it. Some investors are probably very eager to cash out now than later.

yeukhon··on Gwern's Law: Ads cost you a tenth of your users
I have been seeing Squarespace ads on YouTube nearly for every video. I hate it and I just gives thumbs down hoping it will go away. Nope.

Although the echo effect is real, I have to say I do not and will not use Squarespace simply because of the ads. It's insane. Same music, same video over and over.

yeukhon··on YC Interviews in NYC
Wow this is so sudden. Sigh. One of my cofounders can't move to the U.S. due to personal responsibility. I guess YC ain't for us! Good luck everyone.
