    “To ease his boredom, Hy threw himself into side projects. He blogged, hosted networking parties, and played around with various kinds of productivity software.”

    Played with various kinds of productivity software? Like he made Jira tickets in his free time for fun?

      Parents that are sending their kids to these universities? It is not even about just the story itself but perpetuating and justifying the entirety of the American educational system as it exists, to be able to look, point at it and say “hey see it just works!”.

    One year of this dipshit’s salary would pay for my partner’s, children’s, and our surviving parents’ expenses for the next 40 years. Maybe 30 if we want to live extremely comfortably. With none of us working, ever.

    “Had to save for 18 months”? Fuck you.

      He probably only saved a modest amount after income tax, paying 4 mortgages, 6 Ferrari payments, and spending 5000 every month on 10 course dinners

    He didn’t even retire early, he apparently works 30 hours a week on his weekly newsletter and whatever the fuck “management coaching”. Imagine having a seven figure salary and still having to pretend that you’re being productive lmao.
