Never said I was entitled to constant happiness or that I don't understand the harsh reality. I've worked tons of odd-jobs over the years in lots of different fields.
Kinda wishing I could delete this now, it was mostly doom posting since I'm dreading the upcoming sprint. I'm just deeply unsatisfied and struggling to come to terms with doing this grind for decades. I probably need professional help.
- yoav 2y agoThe same with how boredom drives people to creatively fill their time, if you sit in this for some time (in the scale of months or even years) you will stop putting so much care toward trying to change how human systems like companies function, and start developing hobbies and relationships outside of work that are fulfilling. You will naturally over time care less about how you are just a cog in the machine of society. You’ll also likely be able to retire early and do whatever you want with many decades left while your friends outside of tech likely won’t. And in doing so you will realize that even when you have full agency over your time you are still in a way just a cog in the machine of society.
