> Believe me, companies stand to lose a lot more with an empty dev team than any dev stands to lose moving to another company.
This process might take years or even decade of decay until company feels the pain. They might lose in the long run, but unless all high productivity employees leave in an instant you’re the one to lose in the short run.
>all high productivity employees leave in an instant
That almost never happens, unless a company enacts a very unpopular policy and there are many opportunities for high productivity tech employees elsewhere. That sounds a lot like right now.
> Why doesn't everyone play piano? Why isn't every person a super athlete? Why doesn't everyone meditate 40 minutes a day? Why doesn't everyone study super hard in school and become an engineer or doctor or lawyer?
The hard truth: Not everyone is capable of those things. Period.
We’re not talking about world class athlete. There a mile difference between world class athletes and not obese.
> For unknown reason a lot of people still feel the need to eat even when their body is clearly in calory surplus.
Boredom, stress, unhappy life, happy life, laziness - it could be anything. You know what it couldn’t be? Exercise. I’m yet to see a person working out hard and eating at the same time.

No, but plenty of people have their hunger stimulated by exercise and eat too much after.
You simply can't fix being overweight or obese with exercise alone in the vast majority of people. Even if you don't believe in the constrained total energy model that a good chunk of metabolic research PhDs think is at least somewhat true and instead believe solely in the additive model, exercise stimulates hunger and it's far easier to eat 1000 calories than burn 1000 calories.
You have to do both and exercise doesn't automatically make the other easy.
Well, of course if you’ve been jacking heroin for 30 years and all your veins are destroyed beyond repair it’s useless. It’ll take as much, or even more, to return back to normal.
I've had kettlebells, and I've lifted weights. But to be clear, I never said I have a "problem" -- I have a reasonable weight, and at times I've been in the top half of the worldwide rankings on Concept 2's site. I'm just saying that rowing isn't (solely, if we're going to be picky) the reason I have a reasonable weight.
Because they seem have a society deeply structured around health, exercise and good eating habits. And they tend to have a "just do X, it's so easy" kind of attitude, forgetting they are benefitting massively from their environment and society and not just will power alone
Why not a day?
