Trying to run three marathons at the same time will only keep you from finishing any of them. You can show up for the photo or just the final mile, but that only proves who you really are!

It's very hard on other people, who, in some cases, are making tremendous efforts, such as running marathons again, due to these types of people...

I don't mean to be rude, but a "Marathon" ? What world are you living in ?

Most tech-jobs are boring-as-hell bullshit jobs that are required to deal with stupidly designed systems whose phil. is stuck in the dark-ages of PDP-10 (which is why a lot of it gets shipped off to India, or not to 'AI').

What's the incentive to finish the marathon? 0.05% of a 1% chance of a billion dollars?

Some athletes literally run and finish ultra marathons that are longer than three regular marathons.

The article mentions startups where you have to help create or develop an actual product, and a scam artist.
