- jauntywundrkind 2y agoLiving on a sailboat approaches some very very hard life/existential pinnacles that most people never even attempt to climb. Yeah, you can have a simple regular life; that's lower on problems maybe. But man, sailing around & futzing with interesting barefoot developers projects sure sounds challenging in a lot of very very excellent ways.

- smilingsun 2y agoIt's a bit like saying: People climbing a mountain can solve their mountain-climbing problems by not climbing mountings. Also not unlike: It's not the destination, it's the journey.
