Ask HN: How do you deal with getting older?

"Hack life"...please, just stop with this. Can we coin a new phrase?

That cultural description is only true in so far as you believe it.

I personally think age has less to do with this 'culture'. It is mostly your attitude towards new things that surface and whether you're willing to accept the change.

Personally, I've lost interest in the past 4-5 years where there have been significant changes.

I'm 25 and feels lost in a culture that hails 20 year olds that are dreaming up the next big thing.

I don't think age is the important thing here, I have worked with people of all ages (15-70 or so) that I look up to and learned a lot from. Experience is important, and it is hard to have experienced a lot of things if you are 20.

On a semi-related note, all my best bosses have been parents, having kids seem to teach you something about the value of time.

Just make sure you get better as you get older and make sure to cultivate relationships based upon mutual respect. Work should be guaranteed provided our economy is strong enough to sustain it.
