Stop coupling "enjoyment" with "non-productive".
- rifung 11y agoHow did the author couple enjoyment with nonproductive? It seems like the opposite considering he's advocating working on an idea for no pay, which is something you'd only do because you enjoy it and can easily be seen as being productive.
