There's 24 hours in a day. Read Bezos or Musk's or anybody stories and they'll tell you they worked 20-23 hours a day. It's fucking crazy with some people, but that's what it takes to get ahead of the competition. Edit: Please note that I'm not advocating that anybody should do this, but just be aware that a lot of people are setting that level for themselves and in some cases for their subordinates.

Maybe it’s time that society reduces full time work hours from 40 hours per week, to 24 hours per week. 6 hours per day, 4 days per week. 24 hours per week total. Or 8 hours per day, and 3 days per week. Then you have a 4 day weekend. Anything more, is regarded as overtime. Then those that do want to get ahead, can work the remaining 16 hours on a separate job. Software automation, mechanization, and robotics, have r…

Congrats! After two decades as a salaried engineer, my brain was convinced that customers would give me money just for being a superior human being. People who were brought up right might not have this problem when they start a new thing, but I think that all too often this thinking creeps in with success.

Congrats, these things are hard. Could you share some technical details? DB, infrastructure, frameworks, etc? What's your main use case? I can see some audio pros sharing files regularly with their clients (demos, WIP of mixing and mastering, etc).

Thanks Framework: laravel DB: MariaDB hosted with jawsDB.com Host: Heroku Main use case is probably musicians sharing pre-release music with the press / agencies etc but I do have a pretty wide spread. I have schools, businesses, engineers, composers, producers etc. Basically anyone who uses audio files can find SongBox useful.
