koolba, and what about getting scurvy because of malnutrition while trying to bootstrap your startup? what you think!



I'm assuming you're referring to the classic tale of sama: http://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-gave-himself-scurv...

Moving fast and breaking things should not require sacrificing your health. Living a healthy lifestyle and putting it front and center in your plans, for whatever you're doing, will more than pay for themselves down the road.

To phrase it a bit more poetically, it's hard to type on a laptop with an IV line going into your arm :D

It's doable, personal experience.

You must have had a better placement of the needle.

The one time I had an IV the nurse "missed" inserting it into my forearm, pinched a muscle or some such, and then had to fall back to attaching it to my wrist. I couldn't use my left hand the entire time it was attached and for a few days afterwards.

Also, doable aside, I'm guessing you'd agree it's not recommended.

Let's just say it wasn't an entirely free choice, and half a hardware store in my right leg agrees with that.
