    “Find a job doing what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

    I used to love software. Then all the Lumberghs took over.

      Hobbies always change when they become a job because it transitions from well thought out, interesting and creative projects to mass production and monotony.

      As a hobbyist you have the ability to discover and work on unique, novel projects, without stress but professionalism is about consistency and speed.

      Usually by running the business you can dedicate some time and resources to the fun and novel stuff. Thats how I run mine at least, as a woodworker. I don’t crank out high grossing trendy stuff day and night but take the time to explore new ideas and get creative with it. That and using handtools instead of power tools.

        In our next union agreement “only one unified timesheet ever” is a demand we’re putting forth.

        And you know for us to put that in the deal and see what it’ll cost us in return, we’re fucking fed up.

        I feel like that’s the same as a TPS report.

      Do you mean you used to like writing software by yourself, on creative projects that you were passionate about?
