@paulg@paulg Does applying multiple times hurt, help, or have no impact on subsequent applications? E.g. if I apply now and get rejected, will that affect my chances (positive or negatively) if I applied again next year?
@paulg@KaraAlykhan @real_osos @ycombinator@paulg Love this essay. Would you make any changes or updates to it today, given that a decade has now passed?
@DrCamMaximus Nicely said. Also, from what I’ve noticed, there’s a lot of conditions placed on affection / acceptance. For example, tied to which college you attend and how prestigious your job is. Very weird to see.
@normonics Thanks Joe. Appreciate the advice. Yeah, I definitely need to put myself out there more. Social life / social "skills" have atrophied quite a bit too during the past two years.
@dagan1973 Love the Knockback intros where you go over what's on your mind career-wise, life-wise, etc. (Uncharted 3 midlife crisis one is my favorite). The newest one about feeling creatively drained after work resonated with me too. Keep us posted! We're in your corner.
@DrCamMaximus Well said. I work in tech (lol), and one of my big takeaways is that competence in A does not imply competence in B. They’re often great at software, business trends, etc. but not-so-great at other aspects of life and work.
@DrCamMaximus@HopiumRx@TuckerMax Thank you doctor. I guess “practically” speaking, the advice would be to meditate or sit quietly or go for a walk if dealing with a dilemma or problem in life? Having a hard time making the mental shift here or what it would look like / entail.
@TuckerMax@DrCamMaximus Any advice or thoughts on where would one seek the integration that the parent post speaks of? Feel like there aren’t obvious guidelines here for a lot of us younger folks (e.g. raised without a community, religion, etc.)
@TuckerMax@atomicknuckled1 Sadly you can’t do that in many places. I guess next best thing is bear spray? Crazier still are the people who don’t carry anything AND go solo.
@GenePark@HMKilla Awesome! Thanks—that’s helpful to know. Need to move out one of my other consoles from the TV then 😂 Looking to get the game soon-ish
