This sounds terrible. I would be very unhappy with my life if my job involved regularly receiving emails like this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
According to Car and Driver, the Corvette ZR1 can beat the Ferrari for a 3rd of the price. As for the GTR, too boxy. I want to drive a fast car and impress the ladies, not look like some chinzy wannabe extra from Tokyo Drift .
Did Car and Driver also measure the impact on ladies?
But I somehow agree with the non-joker argument. Ever heard somebody who doesn't write code, arguing about how great open source software like Ubuntu is?
This type of rant is insane to me, I would never work for a guy like this. But thats just me, for others it might be prefectly fine... Generally it sounds like he needs a hug or something.
"Dear Sebastian, we quit, piss off. Best, Sam, Lee, and Jon." Seriously, this is just ridiculous. Is there anyone here that would actually put up with this ridiculous public shaming at all, let alone from a CEO that's off in Asia staying up "20 hours" to print flyers for one of his other companies, while he bitches that you're not reneging on your teaching commitments (which I would presume he knew about when he took…
A couple points - They're partners, not employees. Yes, I'll suffer at the printshop when I promised it. My colleague offered to do it, but he just had a baby and it would be ridiculous to keep him all night. No one else was available on Sunday night. > they tend to be neither very good businessmen nor good employers. My staff like me, I pay top of market (sometimes 10x market pay, if the person is worth it but short…
Your partners would be well advised to cut you out of the project... or perhaps to dump the project entirely since (a) it doesn't seem to be going too well, and (b) you're obviously not that committed to it yourself because you're working on something else right now.
The real problem here is not that you've destroyed your project (or at least your role in it) and alienated your friends by sending one douchey email; it's that you apparently don't realize that this is what you've done.
that guy is full of shit check out the REAL JOKER: http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/hey-you-yeah-you-you-can-be... In the comments section of this post, he mentions that he's going to finish the editing process of his book by 30 september Now check this post: http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/why-isnt-my-book-done He's a fucking joker!
or better:
I was going to edit, but I didn’t really. I was kind of flat. I played a lot of Conquer Club online, surfed around, didn’t really get anything done. Then I was traveling around and I wasn’t really working on the book.
He was paid $65k in advance...
Can someone provide me some concise explanation as to what Sebastian Marshall has actually done - outside of lots of blog posts, Hacker news posts, and travel?

Yeah, there is some hypomania there, stimulant induced or otherwise.
Read his latest blog entry (or don't - it's quite a waste of time). Money quote is this: > "I’m cyclothymic too. Like Nieztsche and Byron and those guys. Albeit, much less talented; I’m just saying I got the same affliction. [...] What’s a cyclothymic? It appears that we feel emotions more strongly than other people, and cycle through them. I’m fucking awesome when I’m manic [...] Cyclothymic mania is when the SPIRIT…
Could someone enlighten me what this is about and what is the context because while I can understand the point he seems to be trying to make (just make it happen) I have no idea who he is and what that was written for... Oh and: he equals being "only" middle class with being a "joker" who hasn't risen to their potential but the wealthy people are the not-jokers and the ones to admire? Seriously?? > 99% of people you…
> what is the context The context is someone with a severe mental illness (bipolar disorder) going through a phase of mania. Here are some links to information: ( http://www.mind.org.uk/help/diagnoses_and_conditions/bipolar... ) > When I'm in a manic phase, I feel as though I am capable of anything and everything. This can be an amazing feeling, but I sometimes get frustrated and angry with people. Ideas flow constan…
