It's certainly an interesting programming story, have you found it to be effective?

I hope this is part of a devotion to a healthy lifestyle in general where you don't take anything too far.

I'm definitely vulnerable to this kind of all-or-nothing mentality sometimes. Best of luck in working through this!

I got to a point where it does make sense to order Uber Eats; the $600 per month save's me around 30+ hours of work that I would spend in the kitchen.

The results so far :

  • I've got a raise from my excellent job and a decent bonus
  • So far I've done five startups that have failed horribly

In exchange for 28+ pounds, and I found my self getting slower at learning.

No amount of job raises substitutes unhealthy living, that can end up with dire consequences. Think about the trade offs.

I get your point that spending less time in the kitchen can be invested in developing the next MVP but damn. I enjoy cooking so much, I feel like it is a way of meditating, sorting your thoughts a bit. A bit of downtime helps to refresh the mind and have a kick start afterwards and you can impress people ;)
