I think the easy rule of thumb is “do you ever actually do the thing you read about?”

I think the easy rule of thumb is “do you ever actually do the thing you read about?”
- cpach 4y agoI like to read about lots of things. Urban planning, manufacturing, arts, culture, movies, politics, etc etc. Am I a manufacturer? Do I make oil paintings? Do I direct movies? Am I an elected officiel? No. I’m in tech, doing programming and sysadmin things. I’m a small cog in the whole scheme of things. Still interesting to read about what’s going on in other fields. Nothing wrong with that IMHO.
- ketzo 4y agoAgreed - but by the same token, I don’t think you would call any of that reading “productivity-related,” right? Whereas if I, a software engineer, read 100 articles about micro services and make a bunch of grand plans without ever actually implementing anything… pornography.
