Damn straight, because I actually care about this stuff. I mean, for all the talk on here about "passion" y'all sure do hate it when people actually are passionate.
- czzarr 14y agoyou could be talking about this stuff and be passionate about it without talking about your books. I understand why you do though.
- zedshaw 14y agoBut, I'm passionate about my books. There's nothing wrong with being proud of the things you do. Thinking that you have to never tout yourself is just a form of self-loathing really.
- cbs 14y agoZed, I think you're making the same mistake I did when I started reading hacker news. Passion means willingness to work your hands to the bone for the startup. Nobody here actually gives a shit about the craft itself. The only aspect of a professional discipline worth being passionate about it its ability to deliver the pie in the sky.
