I'm also married to my cofounder and the experience is a lot like yours... Startup families are very tight:) Some people say "startup is a contact sport" but we prefer "startup is …

We work 6 days a week with sabbath off No fixed hours but try and keep sleep, exercise and weekly update meetings regular. As most people say we either work "all the time" or "not …

Dude these things are like celebrity marriages, they never last. That said here's my tip for self improvement accountability: https://www.lift.do

My husband has been balding since I met him at age 18, 12 years ago. I always thought it made his face and in particular eyes/cheekbones stand out. That said, I know that he never …

My 3D modeller is colourblind. His day job is working for a big mother of a sourcing company that has no idea about this challenge. We work together by using codes for colours. It …

The name makes it look more like HN for Australia. But what's in a name anyway...

I think you should work on something that benefits someone else. Then when you get into the workforce you will remember how good that felt and are more likely to make a habit of it…

It strikes me, as do a few other posts and comments from YC that this is an incredibly American centric view of the world. I've heard PG say "just consider moving here" but without…

In Asia we have quite a few if relying on your family is still bootstrapping.

Hi I'm not sure if this is useful but here in China realtime chat function for buying stuff is commonplace. I heard a stat that something like 40% of all sales on Tmall are closed …

Can only speak for my own experience. Everyone works long hours but this is the default culture and people are happy to. Unless you have a startup in which case it makes the balanc…
