>You can work like a dog to release a feature, and if the feature does what it was meant to do, and you get recognized for your contribution, how hard you worked doesn't matter as much. You are energized, excited to be part of a great team, ready to move on to the next stunning victory.
Gross. All that overtime is systematically stamping all the things that are good for the soul out of life. I'm not going to cheer it on because a feature works.
- sul_tasto 5y agoStriving and succeeding at a personal goal is good for the soul. Feeling a sense of purpose at work and in life is good for the soul.
- samsquire 5y agoI disagree. If your purpose only comes from work I find that kind of depressing. Work is something most people are coerced/forced into to survive and avoid a life of desperation, life has a lot more things in it than work. If someone's purpose is work it kind of makes me think they're not really creative, lack imagination and have had purpose given to them from external sources rather self decided and internal. They didn't really choose a purpose, they just adopted one they fell into. Kind of sad.
