Not everyone focuses solely on cash in life, and for some the thought of becoming a 'regular software engineer at a company' might be existentially boring.

- Loughla 6y agoThis is the reason my regular dealer sold various items when I was in college. He figured he had the rest of his life to be boring, but the excitement of dealing was too tempting right now to turn down. I'm betting a lot of the people running these sorts of things are in that area; it's just too interesting to try and too much adrenaline at times. Also, are you named after just general detritus, or the Pratchett character?
- detritus 6y agoha, I quite like the idea of General Detritus! Just detritus generally. It's strange for me as I've been using it for so long now, my mind skips a beat and I feel like I've had a post update whenever I come across the word IRL :) I've actually just picked up my first ever Pratchett - "Small Gods" - after having somehow avoided reading him for the past 30 years! "Detritus was the first troll member of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch..." - I'll look forward to that, thanks!
