Comment on Sad, Tired, and Alone: My Ongoing Battle With Startup Depressionparent

Comments

Good grief, are you serious? This is the worst, most short-sighted, destructive and downright mean piece of advice I've ever seen.

Here you've got a very young man describing decisions he has made in his life that are killing him, and your big solution is to pivot his business focus? Look, people get burnt out, it happens. When you spend 365 days a year spinning your brain at 100k RPM, every so often you need to let it cool down and recharge.

This isn't "quitting" it's called "pacing yourself." Christ. You act like the grandparent comment was saying never ever program or build a business again. He said take a year-long break.
