I read this article and imagine myself being invigorated if I was working inside Twitter, a company finally emerging from a death spiral. Anecdotally, I’ve seen an increasing number of software developers that don’t care to innovate, learn, or have an impact— many people are completely focused on living a comfortable life and having their employer bend over backwards to support a hedonistic lifestyle. I personally don’t think this leads to happiness, but instead to wanting to run faster and faster on a treadmill with infinite speeds. Working hard, making things happen, struggling, are all very worthy ways of spending one’s time.
