The mutagenic human quality for self success I believe you are looking for is “the grind.” Everyone wants to clever their way out of the work, and every upstart should try, though we often fool ourselves into putting off the real work when it would be easier to just do “the grind.”
Who could really start calling themselves successful programmers before mastering the grind? Ordinary people are more comfort and convenience prone.
- almosthere 1y agoI think you're right - but there will always be a percentage of the population that wants to outperform for extra rewards (I mean that is Capitalism in a nutshell). We want to set up society such that this is possible. If you start with grocery stores, and later add a city subsidized Target, Apple, Walmart, etc... then those special out performers will move out of NYC.
- sunscream89 1y agoWhat you want isn’t target or Walmart (okay, maybe Apple), it is their logistics chain. You tap their logistics (supply and demand) and slap your local brand upon it! I think NY wants to move out to escape the enshitification of global reality. However your right, we need our conveniences!
