I think building stuff is hugely underrated. When I look around most people are working on stuff that concerns being interfaces to complex systems (lawyers, doctors, customer service), communication (formal and informal jounalism, technical writing, making data comprehensible), or management (making projects happen).
There are, of course, much pleasure in these things, but what I enjoy most is building and releasing new "stuff" into the world. There is perhaps something primitive about building articfacts that give you pleasure, enhance your life, or make you more productive.
- readme 13y agoBuilding things is awesome. It's too bad that the people who get more respect tend to be managers. Think Jobs vs Woz. I bet a good number of apple users don't even know who Woz is.
- reeses 13y agoTo be fair, Woz hasn't had direct involvement with Apple (other than as a shareholder) in decades. He's definitely not responsible for "new" Apple.
