Treat it like a normal job. Often no "management" is needed. Get done what you can, talk to you tomorrow.

Tesla died alone and is revered, he was a loser personally -- like musk. That was my point that you wooshed

Everything else seems incidental

that's your point?

op: "I think elon is a douche"

me: "I disagree"

you: "YOU DISAGREE HA HA!"

k...

> It's just Elon Musk living alone

ok? what about the inventor Tesla?

....huh?

> Elon Musk when there is nothing really worth being him

maybe you're projecting? are you depressed..?

> but that's kinda funny.

no one cares, I think, lol

kind of a word salad, apologies if I missed your point..?

Do I care that Turing was gay? No, I don't typically care about these giant men's personal lives as long as they're not insanely evil or something.

JFK and Musk being womanizers? Meh. Cool guys, for the most part, imo.

I hate all the meetings, which we can "feel" don't make sense. When we all "feel" a meeting makes sense, we naturally hop in. Totally different vibes.

Pretty sure having motivated people who find the work kinda fun destroys agile/any other methodology. When people wake up excited to pull down tickets or just get shit done, you're doing business right.

automating baulder's gate and such; game automation made me feel like I was a god. waking up in the morning and finding a ton of items _for free?!_ my god, what an incredible feeling as a kid.

gaming tournaments, making websites for my teachers.. I probably programmed 10,000 - 20,000 hours before I was paid a substantial amount. the first "contract" I ever did was for Magic The Gathering online when I was ~12...! made a little state machine that would rarely fuck up, always recover from problems, etc. etc.

Sorry man, but if you aren't up all night having a blast solving problems then people like me will semi-easily crush you. For decades I've lost sleep because I'm obsessed with problems.

There's no way to compete. You kinda get the leftovers, if there are any?

Maybe switch careers into something you are super passionate about, or there's a ton of job openings where passion isn't as consequential.

Sorry to say, but yeah, why _should_ you beat me if I work twice as hard?

> I don't see any reasonable person who could envy him.

OK!

How did he find success with Paypal? What about before that?

It's like a weird defense mechanism because you're jealous. "He's just a crypto bro."

Pretty hilarious.
