2018 — WTF!
Our president thinks shutting down the government is cool, our tech leaders act like they own user data & activity, and I’m just working, working, working until the next family member dies. Where is that work life balance in your own life? Cherish it. Ho hum, lets do this! I looked through the top 100 posts by a number of different metrics, and chose the top 20 overall that embody Hacker Noon.
BTW: our equity crowdfund is up to $831k from 714 people (ending soon, invest today) & email [email protected] to contribute a story to Hacker Noon.
