&gt; Word of advice: don&#x27;t read a lot of HN and Reddit, especially not first thing in the morning. It can leave you feeling burned out and depressed.<p>I found this to be incredibly true, both communities (or at least a subset) have the ability to focus on the negative of pretty much anything, someone posts &quot;I did awesome thing in X&quot; and you&#x27;ll get a few &quot;great, thanks for posting this, it&#x27;s really useful&quot; and an ocean of &quot;You shouldn&#x27;t use X, X is bad and you should feel bad&quot;.<p>It can be mentally sapping if you don&#x27;t have your guard up.
