That’s not a great way to look at it. You can be passionate about the craft and not passionate about the product. You can usually find interesting problems relating to craftsmanship even when doing things you’re not thrilled to do.
Let’s be honest: sometimes you’re not “changing the world” like many founders like to think, just building yet another shopping cart.
If you lose love for your craft there’s no product that’ll cure it.
- 000ooo000 3y agoWell said. I am certainly not in this game because I love building forms. Mastering my tools of choice grants me satisfaction. It's hard to find a place working on a product that is truly interesting, but fortunately at least, finding a place working with tools I like is easier.
- m00x 3y agoBut you're trying to build a damn good shopping cart, which is the product. The code analogy here would be nerding out on how to use a hammer in spectacular ways, but not really do anything interesting with it. You can still really love your tools, but you shouldn't focus on them as much as what you're building with them.
