That's the thing, I'm self-employed and I'm the only one working on (highly experimental) open-source software development tools. It's not so much that there are unproductive people around me, it's that there are no people. My real-life friends are mostly doing their PhDs and none of them are coders/developers.
- Jayschwa 14y agoI quit a fairly toxic job last summer. For about six months, I worked by myself on my own projects. However, I felt my productivity begin to slip, and frankly, not being around people began to weird me out. I'm now in the current batch of hackerschool.com, and it's great. I'm still pretty much working solo on my own project, but it really helps to be in a space surrounded by fellow, productive nerds.
