Hacker News also glamorizes cryptocurrencies, even though it's 90% fraud and 9% uselessness. I wouldn't choose a career based on what random people on HN said is cool.
Choose something you enjoy, or which will help you make money, or which will make the world a better place. It's your goals that matter, not random people on HN.
- n_ary 8y agoThanks for the kind words! So, in conclusion, any professional should try to pursue at least 3 primary goals: 1) makes enough money to live a decent enough life, 2) work on something that is enjoyable and 3) work should make the world a better place/make someone's life a little easier.
- itamarst 8y agoSorry, it's not that easy. In the end you need to decide what you want. Maybe you don't care about money, or maybe you do work you don't particularly enjoy because the outcome is worth it for you... None of us can decide what's best for you. You need to figure out your goals on your own.
