This is a very good essay. It feels that pg is more reflective now than he was a few years ago. In particular, he is calling attention to how the dice fell; how things worked out well. I'd be interested, as a purely personal matter, in seeing a painting show of pg's work. I came to painting long after I came to programming. I'm almost 40. This statement: > If you can choose what to work on, and you choose a project that's not the best one (or at least a good one) for you, then it's getting in the way of another project that is. And at 50 there was some opportunity cost to screwing around. is a true one, and, frankly, has been more and more impressed on me for the last five years or so.
