Me too, I do not desire attention at all, I would love the freedom to pursue intellectual activities that are challenging... I really enjoy making apps and there aren't many apps that really showcase the latest iPads abilities well
My ultimate goal would be financial freedom to work on cool apps full time .. something with A.I. in it, but really delivers graphically as well, as I enjoy challenging both the algorithmic side of my brain with AI and the spatial side of my brain with 3D programming, and I really really enjoy squeezing the last inch out of hardware!
Just lost my job though, so I'm pushing to launch my app this month ASAP, but might have to go back to making cat websites for a few months :(
- unclebucknasty 13y agoSorry to hear about your job loss. It will be interesting though to see how your interest in making apps for the sake of it is impacted by the fact that you're now making them for money. That, of course, intersects with the premise of the article. I think the idea of following one's passion as a means of obtaining financial security is generally oversold (though clearly not impossible). As soon as you add the financial factor, the enjoyment can be sucked out of it. For one, you're not doing it in the way you might if not for the need to monetize. Secondly, you find yourself doing all kinds of stuff that are decidedly not your passion (administrivia, marketing, etc.) Anyway, good luck!
