Aside from any diagnoses or assessing burnout, I’d suggest thinking about what is actually causing the lack of motivation when you sit down. Working on a business is different from coding, per se. You might lack motivation to work on your business specifically or to generally be figuring out business problems. All coding is not equal — are you coding bug fixes, new features, solutions architecture? These all kind of have different underlying requirements and you might find that some motivate you more than others. For me, bug fixes are necessary but draining. The days where I spend 8 hours putting out those fires absolutely suck. Doing the “create a puzzle and build the solution” stuff is way more exciting, fulfilling, and motivating for me.
Your business revenue can really help you out in this department. If it happens to be that you lack motivation for specific things, can you hire those out and focus on working on the things that actually give you joy and satisfaction?
The suggestion of therapy is a good one, but I think that figuring out the root causes of your lack of motivation is also a good first step. So when you sit down to work and can’t get going, ask yourself “what am I trying to do, why am I doing it, why don’t I want to, and would handing this off to somebody else give me motivation to move onto the next thing.”
Maybe the answer is to sell the business and find something else that’s exciting to work on, or just to give your mind the space to recover.
> My impression has been that AirBNB's customers are actually the hosts.
Fwiw, I listened to an interview with Brian a couple of years back where he said that, internally and strategically, they call hosts “partners” and guests “customers.” Which makes sense to me.
A grocery store is not a person. And besides that, laws and regulations exist specifically to restrict what people are able to do. Nobody is entirely sovereign. Sure, if you discover an island and you decide to live there, maybe you’re sovereign and can act however you want. But we live in a collective. That’s just the way it works.
I wonder if the costs associated with this will go down over time. Either way, your first link says 7500 sites are affected, so that’s something like $135 billion if we go off of the Orange County cost? Sheesh. Or is that multiplication not how it works?

Ah right, I was thinking of fungal-dominant soil and compost, but wasn’t thinking of fungal disease above ground.
Growing mushrooms is one of those things that’s been on my list forever, but I never get around to setting anything up. What system do you use for your mushrooms?
Second comment following up on my other one. Your own links undermine your own argument.
From your second source:
> Carefully constructed vegan diets could provide adequate amounts of all six priority micronutrients for the general population, except vitamin B12, which would need to be consumed through fortified foods or supplements.
Further, the opening paragraph of your third link undermines your entire argument as well
> Diets that limit the consumption of animal source food to very low levels require careful fortification or supplementation, and the inclusion of specific nutrient-dense plants. If these cautionary measures are neglected, vegetarian and, especially, vegan populations risk to suffer from deficiencies in some key animal source food-associated nutrients."
It specifically says that vegan populations risk deficiencies when not including nutrient-dense foods and fortification/supplementation. It specifically does not say that full nutrition is impossible without animal products.
Event the title implicitly supports my argument: "Not all (micro)nutrients are easily obtained from plants." Emphasis on "easily."
The word "cannot" only appears alongside B12. The phrase "does not" doesn't appear alongside any nutrients intake. And the word "impossible" doesn't show up at all.
Are you sure that you read the articles you're claiming that I did not read?
I did look at your sources. They describe lower bioavailability and nutrient density, and have advisements for supplementation and a diverse diet. Low density and bioavailability does not mean non-existent. Low bioavailability does not mean not at all bioavailable. Can you point to a specific line that says it is impossible to obtain a nutrient in sufficient quantities on a vegan diet, even with supplementation? The third link seems to be the most related to your point, but I don’t think it says what you’re arguing, from what I can see. I’m sorry to say that the links are long and I going to need you to point me to lines that support your thesis.
