I'm an asshole with bi-polar disorder. Despite 25 years of therapy, drugs, and everything else you can imagine, I've never been able to get control of my emotions.
Earlier this year I was fired from my 20th job in 22 years, and said enough was enough. I sold my meager 401k, deleted all of my social media accounts, said some goodbyes, and left.
The work sucked anyways. When you're crazy, you cannot really learn or improve, the best you can do is find an angle. My angle was to find start-ups which weren't going out of business, but had failed to launch. I could usually talk my way into being hired and keep my temper under control for 8-12 months before the stress / depression got the better of me and I got fired.
When Garry Tan said "Don't hire assholes", he might have actually been speaking about me directly, I pissed him off once or twice.
Now I'm quarantined at a Hostel in Croatia where I work in exchanger for room and board. This is what I'll do until I die in a few years.
