I hate this attitude. Especially when we all know that it is impossible to be productive for 12 hours a day, 365 days per year - let alone the 16, or whatever hours, some 'hackers' claim to do
I would rather work an effective 4 hours a day (which you end up doing, or less, anyway, between all the web surfing and snarky comments on HN), take a few weeks off a year, take the odd year off, and actually enjoy life through meeting and interacting with other people.
- acgourley 16y agoI'm not saying you should stay home and work every day, I'm saying there is no way to turn SXSW into what it isn't - something for hackers.
- bl4k 16y agoThat is a bit different then. I agree about the conference, I have never been inclined to go. The impression that I get is that the program is full of self-proclaimed experts who pack themselves and their 2 page bio's onto panels to talk about subjects that nobody outside of that room cares about, and that nobody in the room will ever actually implement or do anything about. I applaud the effort of setting up an area of sxsw that is more hackerish - but it would probably be better to just organize something separately, preferably in a different city and at a different time.
