Does anyone else feel conflicted about the internet
as both a means to a comfortable/lucretive career but
also the ultimate drug?
yeah. it's like, hey, the only thing i'm good at (software engineering) is intimately tied to an always-on connection to an infinite distraction machine
i mean obviously i mitigate it as much as possible (blocking sites, etc) but daaaaaaaamn. what a fundamentally tricky tension.
- AbstractH24 3y agoIt's interesting; I'd never say that about chefs or folks in the restaurant industry. Plenty of other unhealthy habits in that line of work, don't get me wrong. But little association between the pleasures of food and making the food.
- JohnBooty 3y agoYeah in most restaurants you can't just start randomly eating food, in the way that you can just start randomly surfin' tha web in software engineering.
