Well then, let us all break out our extra small violins, and play a somber tune, for the person in their late 30s who still has to work 20 hours a week.

A violin small enough to be played for me is shorter than h bar: no Silicon Valley engineer deserves anyones sympathy in a world where people are getting evicted from their homes via mortar fire. We all have it way too fucking good.

It’s more like 80-100 hours a week, which would put a strain on anybody: but I made my decisions and I’m living with them. I didn’t bring up the details in some lane bud for pity: I brought them up to establish my credentials on knowing my ass from my elbow on what happens at FB, which I do and most on HN don’t.
