True dat!
elt0n··on Ask HN: What inspires you to persevere through adversity?
Some "successes" may lead to "failures" too.
elt0n··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
I love IndieHackers!
elt0n··on Developers’ side projects
Seems to be the case in France as well, i.e, devs don't own their side projects.

Ditto.
elt0n··on Music for Programming
I'm thinking there's not enough bandwidth and the files can't load.

Are the player buttons supposed to work?
elt0n··on Nice People Really Do Have More Fun
"In my view, the fact that niceness beats physical beauty is evidence of the existence of God."

Wait, what? Isn't this a highly subjective and religious claim that comes out of nowhere and isn't relevant to the article? Or is that a commonly used expression I am unaware of?

Gross
elt0n··on Apple Unveils the Apple Watch Series 2
But why does it need a GPS when the watch still requires a bluetooth connection to a phone, which already has GPS? Unless it doesn't need a phone anymore?

elt0n··on Ask HN: How can you stand sitting at computers all day?
I am living on savings while I figure out the next step.

I have coffee and a croissant while reading a book everyday at roughly 10am, then meals at 1pm, 4pm, and 9pm, and sleep from roughly 1am to 9am. Funny question :)

elt0n··on Ask HN: How can you stand sitting at computers all day?
I agree that the best interactions are generally one-on-ones or 3 people at most. And I understand your first point. I was thinking that my question might just be a symptom of my personal burnout.
elt0n··on Ask HN: How can you stand sitting at computers all day?
I used to do that too :) it makes it more bearable. I used to love coding, but I've always missed the real world when I was in that bubble, and now that I'm not working anymore, it somehow feels more right, it's weird.
elt0n··on Ask HN: How can you stand sitting at computers all day?
But 7 hours of development and 1.5 hours of workout per day still burnt me out :/
elt0n··on Ask HN: How can you stand sitting at computers all day?
Very true, I guess a good balance is important. One can only enjoy one's own company for so long, right?

It seems you are drawing conclusions out of a tree from the forest.

elt0n reads books, plays music, and takes long walks by himself, but he believes the answer to life is not only 42, but also people. Think about it, do the very best moments in your life involve a book or a walk or music, or other people?

elt0n doesn't quite fit in either introvert or extrovert generalizations, but the social interactions in the tech world don't seem nearly as exciting as those outside of it. It seems people view tech as an end instead of a mean, and maybe that's where the idea of slaving away comes from.

Regardless, what do you think is elt0n's view of what humans are meant to do? Party all day and talk loudly? I would also think so based on the quote you took out of an already poorly phrased context.

elt0n··on Employee #1: Reddit
I guess a touchy question I would've liked to see is "How was it working with Aaron Swartz?," because he seemed like a wonderful person to work with.
