The world would be a significantly better place if someone could throw a small mountain of money at the Tailwind folks so that they can stop worrying about money and simply make the full tailwind experience freely available. There are so many lost opportunities for deep integration with other projects.

Kind of like how Jeff Bezos threw a bunch of money at 37signals at some insane valuation, which helped them completely avoid the VC trap.

Honestly, I kinda feel like 37Signals would have been better off with the founders having someone to report to...

How so? As an outsider, they appear to be a healthy business ans a good employer to work for?

Didn't see today's DHH rant about talk therapy?

Where he encouraged people to lean into intentionality and finding purpose rather than using therapy as a replacement?

I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and I’ve benefited GREATLY from talk therapy in numerous ways. I’m an advocate for therapy. I simultaneously stand behind his post as a healthy nudge for many.

I don't think people in CS should be giving broad overly simplistic mental health advice. Let's leave that to the pros. I'm grateful of DHH's contributions to society but his hot takes are marketing ploys. Mental health should not be leveraged as a marketing ploy.

Fwiw, I struggled with anxiety and depression for nearly 20 years. Commitment to therapy and my modalities brought me out of that. My _therapist_ guided me, including finding purpose and building meaningful relationships.
