The secret is that looking to work as a way to fulfill that desire to build and create is not a good idea. The existence of industrial farming takes no joy from my backyard garden. My usage of Gen AI doesn’t diminish the wonder I feel building projects at home.
Looking to corporate work as an out for your creative desires never really worked out. Sure there was a brief golden age where if you worked at a big tech company you could find it but the vast majority of engineers do utilitarian work. As a software engineer your job as always been to drive business value.
- m3t4man 2y agoIt's also not hard to understand why people seek that kind of fulfillment at work. It is something we dedicate most of our day to for most of the week
- v3xro 2y agoIt doesn't have to be that way no? As soon as we start realigning economic systems to value labor more than capital again I think we will find meaningful pursuits in all business areas. Edit: and yes, I am all too aware of the "market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" adage as applied to this situation.
- roxolotl 2y agoOh yea absolutely. But like you’re saying in your edit it might take a long time to get there. I think also in order to get there we have to acknowledge where we are.
