Who was paying $500k/yr? Sounds like there is a job opening?
Do people go to bed at 8PM or something?
What is the point of working on something if you're missing out on when your friends are doing stuff and hanging out in Discord?
Anyone else finding it hard to believe an unnamed big company would approach the author for a 500k CEO role given his background/work experience?
Horrible product/company name. My first impression was that this was referring to the MyYearbook social media successor, MeetMe.
> 1st key to succeed here was to work from 4-5 AM to 8 AM before my day job. This was a massive helper. It was truly amazing to see how much these little chunk of time ad up and become HUGE amount down the line.
This is the frame of time when I get substantially more done at my job. Well, for me it's more like 5am to 9am. It's a sweet four hours of no interruptions, no meetings, and no BS. I still work for the remainder of the day, but things are much more relaxed because I'm always able to accomplish something during the early 4 hours. In contrast, if I were to start work at 9, there's a good possibility that my productivity will get swallowed up by spurious questions, standup, meetings, meetings that suddenly appear on my calendar, @here, bug reports from customers, HR insisting I fill out yet another sentiment survey, maybe a 1-on-1 with my manager, careful rebasing after someone merged a humongous PR, deployments being broken because someone pushed a change to the configuration, and so on. Friends and family are either asleep or getting ready for their day, so my phone isn't frequently buzzing. I can't go back to working normal hours; work sucks when the day ends and you didn't actually get any measurable unit of work done.
I can see how that would be the perfect time window for working on some other project while still having a day job. Although these days I don't have the will to take on that much programming work.
