What a sad, miserable take. This is not at all my experience.

Have you driven in Tesla FSD recently? If anything it’s undersold. It’s an absolute miracle. I use it everyday.

That's not the same thing. Those aren't real companies. This is buying existing, profitable companies with real employees and customers.

This is a low quality, very poorly edited and researched piece of borderline content spam.

NYC. Go to meet ups. Subscribe to some NYC tech event newsletters. You can go to several events every single night.

This is what Deel and Remote do for international employees. PEOs do this domestically (Justworks and Insperity, for instance)

New comment by taylortrusty in "Ask HN: At a peak of my dev career, I hate my life"

I felt similar to you while living in Kentucky and turning 30. It felt like all my friends had moved onto the next phase of their life and I wasn't ready for that. I felt unmotivated and stuck, but also felt guilty because I had an income and a job that I felt I should be happy to have.

Moving to NYC completely changed my perspective and my life. Moving also had other impacts: it forced a change of scenery, forced me to make new friends, learn about new parks, learn all new neighborhoods to walk through with no prior memories, I felt inspired with new ideas for the first time in a long time, forced new hobbies and ways of spending time (hello volleyball! hello going to 5 networking events in one night!) and the process of introducing myself to new people over and over made me realize I didn't like what I was doing for work.

I'm not advocating for NYC specifically. I was in Austin last weekend and felt a similar draw there, so if I was 30 and in that stuck spot today that's probably where I'd go to start. There's an energy that dense cities have that forces change, in my experience.

Good luck to you! It can be a very rewarding journey.

I suspect part of the appeal is it's not permanently blue.

This may be true for you but come to any major city and there are large events every single night. It's back to pre-covid. Every bar in NYC is packed, concerts are back. I went to see 4 shows last weekend.

I did a one week ayahuasca retreat that changed my life. Highly recommend if one feels stuck or has things to get through.

Years of therapy also helped me.

Yes, these things eliminate people who are sympathetic to the core cause but in no way want to be associated with these actions.
