  As others have stated: lose the 60 hour work week. That was insane when you were young and crazier as you get older. In 20 years the only people who remember your effort for your boss, are your children because you were never there for them.

  An advice from my father in law that always stayed with me: if you can, try to find a job far enough to enable you to flip the mental switch from employee to house father and back, but nearby enough to not waste time commuting. He used to need 30 minutes for that. I need a 15 minute bicycle ride.

  Also: long walks, running in the weekends and a few beers every night. Not proud of the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where are you from OP? Right-left is a spectrum. There is nuance. Where I live, polarization is a problem, due to some far right fuckers holding our politics hostage. Any nuance is immediately derided as being ‘far left’.

  There’s contexts for the left-right sperctrum, like social, economic or cultural. To throw in a few crude generalizations: social leftists are for a more equal society for the rich and poor alike with equal chances in terms of education, affordable housing and medical care. Cultural leftists are more open to foreign influences like migrants and niche cultural stuff and economic leftists lean toward a more honest economic structure with more government regulation on big corporations.

  So it is perfectly possible to be culturally / socially left-ish, but economic right-ish.

  I am not a game developer, but I imagine that getting loads of online flak on projects that are not quite finished yet can be very demoralizeng.

  I do develop other stuff and do not do sneak peeks anymore.
