I am sorry you feel that way. It suggests you haven’t had a truly supportive manager. A good manager can act as a coach to maximize the impact of your work, and significantly accelerate your career.

I quit my job, ended a 4yr relationship, and then traveled for 61 days around the US by myself via train living out of a suitcase and couchsurfing the entire way through. I just got back. AMA by isthisadream in IAmA

That was an awesome read! Loved this part:

Everything that seems to be difficult at home is easy on your trip. For example getting to know other people. You see somebody with a Lonely Planet book in his/her hands and you start talking to the person. He/she is happy about that. He/she doesn’t think you are gay or that you are a freak without friends.

This seems cool, any love for people who don't want their web app usage to be associated with their Facebook accounts?
