Nathan HubbardVerified account @NathanCHubbardWhatever you’re hustling for, take note: most people/companies are shut down until ‘18. That means you get 2 extra weeks to outwork your competition. That’s 3.8% more time. For perspective: Usain Bolt won his gold medals running 1.2% faster. These 2 weeks are a gift. Get to work.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likes -

Lol that was literally the reason I posted this. The weirdest part of this backlash to me - if you don’t want to work like this...don’t? Not sure why people need to be angry at you for how you choose to work.

Well you’re not going to start any good flame wars with an attitude like *that*. How do you possibly stay sane without the stabilizing force of condemning others’ choices?

Yup, I think this is the problem. (Almost) each individual reply totally reasonable. Net outcome: https://twitter.com/nathanchubbard/status/943079619032436736 …. Nathan can, obviously, handle it, but how many people just
and don’t bother? All basically just Coda’s fan-in issue. https://codahale.com/fan-in/ Patrick Collison added,

I’m still struggling with whether or not I think this is a real problem. I know that when people I respect flame me on twitter, it puts me in a bad mood, but I get over it. Maybe it’s incumbent on privileged folks to engage rather than
in the face of backlash.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
Yeah, I worry about the chilling effect it all has on less privileged or self-confident folks.
