Comment on Aaron Swartz: How I Hire Programmersparent

Comments

I can generally do interviews, but for quite a few years I had problems with burning out easily. I had to take a long vacation every year, etc.

I found the reason in the end. I wasn't extra stress sensitive. I just couldn't relax during stressed periods -- I was "on" 24/7.

Mediation solved that.

Edit: This was a bit personal, but I'll let it be. It might help someone. (AA, etc.)

Sigh.
