    Satire aside I often wonder if thinking about my projects or dotfiles in the back of my head every single minute I am resting is messing with me.

    bro is an econ major and yet never read Capital vol.1 which quite clearly lays out that any time spent working after reproducing the means of sustenance for the worker (in this case I guess it’s only an hour or two, if the dude is doing anything productive at all) is just surplus value for the capitalist (in this case, the venture capitalist paying this “tech founder”), which the capitalist will never reimburse to the worker.

    But his idol, Jensen Huang, apparently also goes to bed an wakes up, implying the occurrence of sleep. Logic is difficult

      Jensen Huang’s optimized brain is divided into sections and spread throughout his limbs like an octopus. When one part of Jensen Huang sleeps, another part works. He’s not built like us.

    Sleep deprivation leads to hallucinations like this.

    I see a too early death in his 30s. it’s called karoshi - death caused by overworking.

    LOL. Bro thinks ‘If I work hard, I will succeed; effort and progress scale linearly’

    I used to work 300 hr months for years. Let me be the first to tell you that’s the most toxic thinking you can imagine

      I used to work 300 hr months for years.

      I had one of those, and then decided that if being self-employed was this, I’d rather live under a bridge.

        I will never understand purely career oriented personalities. I work so I can enjoy not working, I want to find the most efficient work to not-work ratio and be there.

        I have multiple friends that will have a one-ups competition to talk about all the overtime they worked, and I would just chime in with “If I did 14 hours of actual work this week I would be surprised”

          Exactly. Why would you sell more of your life for more money than you need to?

          That’s me now. I’m working 37.5 a week til the cows come home. If I do work OT, I actually get it. Before, I just banked straight time, got rained on, riddled with black fly bites, and chased by bears.

          Wee.

            I’m this way now. I genuinely enjoy my job, but when I’m off the clock, I’m OFF. My work phone and work laptop both stay in the work backpack until my next shift.

          It’s temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome. Look at Alex Hormozi. Dude is the definition of faking it til he made it and he puts out stupid posts like ‘I ate Chipotle 500 times in a year because it saved me time I could be spending on making money’.

          Most of the people in this ‘subculture’ don’t realize that they are crabs in a bucket.
