    Disagreements that push people away from each other on Twitter are the same sort of disagreements that, if discussed around a campfire with bourbon, bring people closer together.

    Asking for a friend: If a scale rests on a 5% slope, what reading will it display when weighing a 100lb object?

    All of these “most important buildings of the decade” will be torn down, derelict, or generally despised by 2039, with the possible exception of Haus Gables, which will persist as an interesting oddity.

    Perhaps we can make this -from the ceo of a $50B company- the definitive thread on this topic.

    The question is not how much you are working. It is *on what*, *for whom*, and *why*. If those things are the right things, it is impossible to not work really hard. Far more people are dismally working on the wrong things than are rewardingly working on the right ones.

    When I am working on my own things (which is pretty much all of my work), I’ve never found (or sought) an off switch. I will certainly be engaged in a good historical fiction, when exercising, or when with my loved ones (or whatever), but I never really leave my work.

    Basecamp is closely held. Near as I can tell, it’s a wonderful place to work with admirable and caring leaders, and no significant ownership opportunity for employees. Leadership rightly encourages people to work a “normal” amount, and leave their work at work.

    I was fortunate enough to spend my 20s (and the years after) working hard to build something I loved and that was worth building. The real question isn’t working nights and weekends vs working 40 hours. It is about for whom, for what, and why you are working.

    Startups evolve around their founders, developing robust skills the founder lacks. That’s what it needed to survive. If the company reaches scale, unless it develops a team with skills equal to or better than the founder’s, the founder is trapped rather than freed by its success.

    When we look back on the resurrection of our cities, towns, rural areas, & wilderness from the devastation of modernism’s central planning, will we remember that it was by rebelling against the lunacy taught at and prescribed by elite universities that we saved ourselves?

    Commuters, having just exited the highway after an hour of dehumanizing gridlock, are in no mood to notice (or yield to) pedestrians crossing Peachtree at the crosswalk with the walk signal. Making eye contact with drivers is an excellent way to lessen one’s chance of death.

    One of the most valuable assets in my life is my 20+ year old connection to nine friends, that began years earlier, cemented with a reply-all thread, institutionalized with a yahoogroup, and continues today via a (paid) slack. We average dozens of messages per day.

    More than a decade ago, I learned of the Napoleanic method for dealing with requests, which mainly requires ignoring them for three weeks, then reviewing them to see if they are still relevant (the significant majority aren’t), and responding only to those that merit response.

    Early review from a friend I consider to be a reliable and authoritative expert: “Don’t believe the reviews. Best of the new three perhaps. Better than Solo.”

    There is something about giving up things you have become hedonisticly adapted to: to sharpen your thinking and become more aware and truly grateful for these things and more. I will join you in , my friend.
