Some people see innovative ways to combine art and technology.
Some people see money.
- civilitty 3y agoSome people see Hacker News internet points. They are the ones we remember.
- gorjusborg 3y agoEvery now and then I remember I'm reading a VC-funded news aggregator.
- nomel 3y agoI work in automation. My livelihood is making things, unattended. I see my career. Personally, I think artist should be compensated well. The whole "starving artist" thing isn't just a trope, and I don't think they should be punished like that, "in the name of art!". There are people in my family who were some of the most creative people I know, with art degrees, who have to spend time waiting tables, rather than on art, because because they have stomachs, and don't like the rain. Money isn't bad, especially if it's from making beautiful things that others value.
