Hey Spectrum really annoying we’ve been w/o internet for nearly 6 hrs, was told it would be fixed by 8p MT. No new updates. I work remotely so I’ve been using my Starlink that’s typically intended for when I travel only. Can we get an update? Issue resolved? Something?

Stop romanticizing the grind. The goal isn't to work yourself to death. It's to build something that works while you live your life.

Trying is irrelevant. You have to be willing to move the fucking world. Follow up 30 times in a row. Call once an hour. Bake their mom's favorite pie. Do whatever it takes. The issue isn't that the problem is too big, it's that your commitment to solving it is too small.
