We're a software consulting and custom development agency.
We have mid and senior level positions for full-stack developers with a background in React, React-Native (or expertise frontend and able to learn quickly), and node.js on the backend.
We love Firebase as well as MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
We practice pragmatism and humility.
As an early team member (currently a team of 6), you'll have the opportunity to shape the culture of the company.
Firstly, I’d like to say congratulations on your success in family and business!
I can only offer some “bio-hacks” (but really they’re key science-backed natural health habits) to master to optimize the mental well-being of humans.
As they say, health is wealth.
First thing: sleep well.
Lack of good quality sleep is known to drive up anxiety, depression, cravings, forgetfulness, irritability, and countless other negative things. It also (perhaps ironically) leaves us feeling empty and constantly unsatisfied.
I’d recommend getting a good sleep tracker (Apple Watch or Oura Ring), and to be diligent about treating your 8ish hours of sleep a night as sacred—though not to become too anal about. It’s important for your energy and spiritual bank account.
Moving on…
Go on a walk every morning in the AM for 30-60 minutes. It’s been demonstrated to have great positive effects on your mood, not to mention your learning ability. I get high from long walks. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I feel that I’m in control of my life when I can be at peace doing “nothing productive” for an hour a day while walking on sunshine, especially before I do any work.
On that note, flex your abs when you walk, and walk strong and proud as the godly creator that you are.
IMHO if one cannot make time to walk or exercise or otherwise do good things for oneself, then one is enslaved.
Walk periodically throughout the day and look into the distance.
For every ~45 minutes of work, we should ideally get up to walk and look into the distance for 5 minutes.
Lack of doing this is known to make us feel trapped and can lead to feelings of depression.
Diet is also very important. I won’t spend too much time talking about this, but the Whole30 diet plan is recommended to try out alongside a proper sleep and exercise routine to optimize your mood and cognitive function. Try it for 30 days and see for yourself!
Otherwise minimize excess carbs, processed foods, and foods made with industrial vegetable oils.
Finally…
As others have mentioned, find a good therapist.
Delegate and outsource as much as you can. Your time is infinitely more precious than the extra money that you make.
The article that I posted as the OP explains the mechanism of exercise-induces neurogenesis but seems to have nothing to do with hericium's suggestion of monoamines.
Is there a (web) app that you wish existed?
Why not start building it?
You can learn as you go.
Break down the requirements and implement them piece by piece. Leverage libraries and frameworks to save time.
Agreed. In that case, maybe we just have to make sure to schedule dedicated time for HN usage. Probably better for us to keep things like this manual :-).
Also, it gives us time to edit/delete our comments like a ninja!
- the action name of move is significant.
the additional typing for a precisely descriptive name is generally worth it for readable code.
fortunately, autocompletion is available in the code editor!
