Amazing to see people going on a beautiful hike, while chatting with agents all the time to "do some work".

Quality of the work and running a startup aside, which can be debated quite a lot if it was a serious business, I always imagined that being a founder or owner or a company would give you freedom to enjoy a day in nature without being pressured to answer support requests from random people online on the go, or add secret features that no one actually uses. I guess not everyone sees it that way.

Ah, I donno. I remember my Dad climbing on top of a camper van to get reception on his Blackberry so he could reply to a client email.

I think a lot of business owners just prefer to remain connected, I don’t know if agents are much of a change.

I disagree, enjoy the beautiful hike and give your brain a rest.

I really like what I do in my Startup. Its fun and energizing.

This is different to my day-to-day work.

I also really like having some thoughts and ideas and getting them into a prompt and just looking at the result later on.
