Absosmurfly, yes!
I would love to participate in the broader discussion, but then I would have to join Twitter.
If I could muster the penchant for finishing things, perhaps I could join academia.
If I can hold my breath long enough to cash in my stock grants, I will take time off to launch my art career.
In the end, though, it seems like it would be safest to leverage my Canadian citizenship to move to the arctic coast and build a fortress to endure the coming zombie apocalypse.
- Buttons840 7y agoI've wanted to quit tech, and recently resumed drawing, so I want to ask: Do you want to quit tech because you don't enjoy the tech, or because of the people and culture in tech? If it's because of the people and culture, then do you believe the people and culture in an art career would be any better? While investigating drawing recently, I learned that it can be approached in a very technical way, and that there are many different areas of study. I found it to be more similar to programming, in this way, than I would have expected. I love programming and the tech, but I don't like the culture very often. I've been frustrated with the CEO at my company, who sells our amazing software and AI. What we really have is a basic CRUD app (which we've managed to make very buggy and unreliable) and our AI is humans who manually review things. Yet I believe the CEO is sincere in his delusions. I've been appreciating drawing because there can be no such delusions. What you see is what's there, and our brains are very good at detecting oddities and making them very apparent. It seems to leave much less room for self-deception.
