Kevin, 29, he/they, software tech lead

I like walkable cities, programming ethics, cooking, cartoons, webcomic preservation, board games, and video games.
a lot of outrage in the past about kickstarters being "cash grabs" and not properly delivering seem to assume running a business is a very stable and having cash guarantees success. it's not, most businesses go out of business and fail

and that's okay

good mentees ask many questions

great mentees ask the right questions

good mentors answer those questions and encourage the mentee to ask more

great mentors don't just answer the questions posed, because they could be the wrong questions, they answer the right questions even if they aren't asked

nothing feels better as a leader than telling someone "you're not doing anything wrong, your task/situation is tough, and I'll give you plenty of time to take it slow to learn and perform well"

I think NL is popular because he's such a healthy well balanced person, that is also entertaining as hell. Like a role model for being an adult (now, compared to when he was younger)

when you order papaya salad at a Thai restaurant are you meant to eat the whole jawn there or do they give you a shitton because they expect you to take some togo

tfw you accidentally click "newest page" instead of "next page" while reading the archives of a webcomic so you get a peek at hundreds of strips later, and now whenever someone asks "hey when did you start reading X comic" you can reference that one accidental click strip

I think a lot of my (and others') burnout comes from working until I feel like I accomplished everything I said I would on a daily basis, even though my estimation/planning is never consistent

startups don't have a lot of money so they pay early employees in something else:

trust. respect. power.

they get early employees emotionally invested and financially invested in the company and its people so it's harder to leave
