on “Ask HN: Who else is working on nothing?” ↗…have more opportunities to travel, to wander, to play, to meet new people, to tinker, to discover. So I've been thinking and reading about this a lot. The final push came from two books I read: "The Pathless Path" by Paul Millerd [2] and "The Inner Compass" by Lawrence Yeo [3]. I can't recommend them enough. > 2. What will you be doing? (Even if nothing!) I have a huge Steam backlog to beat... :) Besides that,…
on “Ask HN: Who is quitting? (July 2026)” ↗"Pathless Path" is a great book about reevaluating values with respect to work. I'm about halfway through and strongly recommend it.

I wrote more about how it shaped me in "Finding My Pathless Path" at https://www.sspaeti.com/blog/finding-my-pathless-path/.
on “Research: The Transformative Power of Sabbaticals” ↗I just wrote about how it transformed my path and why I did them on "Finding My Pathless Path" at https://www.sspaeti.com/blog/finding-my-pathless-path/. For my life journey, these sabbaticals were transformative. I had several. I love the definition by Paul Millerd, "mini-retirement." Instead…
on “Ask HN: What did a sabbatical do for you?” ↗amazing, thanks for sharing. I was curious if there's already a name for this local travel. Micro-travel or planless-travel are close. Mini retirements are another term I like to use. I heard from the Pathless Path book (I think), which is traveling for up to 4 weeks - it's not 100% related, but it is what came to mind when I heard Microadventures.
