Ask HN: How do you feel about what it is that you do?
Specifically, the mental projection of your digital self? What do you think you accomplish by doing the thing that is the most enjoyable to you?
- cullenking 16y agoNot sure exactly how to interpret this question, so I'll answer along the lines I have been thinking lately. Most of my digital life revolves around my business, a website for cyclists. I enjoy cycling, but am definitely not the avid cyclist that I hope signs up for my service. As a result, I feel a bit like I am posing, but the tool we are creating has many many cool technical aspects to it, so I really enjoy working on the project. I don't want to do this indefinitely, there are some cooler tech projects out there I would like to pursue, but this is a great and enjoyable way to pay the bills. I am assuming you pose this question thinking something along the lines of: "Is this digital life a good way to spend my creativity and time?" If that is the case, I definitely think so, however I sometimes long for something as simple as construction, with more tangible physical representations of progress and craftsmanship.
