It’s interesting to me that people find so much meaning in their jobs. To me work is just the means to obtain the money I need to actually live my life.

- sinsterizme 6d agoI think most people happy with their lives find meaning in their work. There’s studies on men’s happiness in particular being predominantly based on work satisfaction https://s3.amazonaws.com/harrys-cdnx-prod/manual/Harry%27s+Masculinity+Report%2C+USA+2018.pdf https://s3.amazonaws.com/harrys-cdnx-prod/manual/Harry%27s+M...
- xp84 6d agoAs someone who has spent my currently almost 20-year career building stuff in companies - and whole verticals - I don't care about at all, I agree mostly. As long as they're still going to pay me (GIANT hopeful assumption there) I'll supervise a 'team' of Claudes or whatever and don't really mind because I was just writing boring-ass corporate software. If I can get enough money to retire before it's too late, I won't miss work at all. Unfortunately I am not sure the 'tech' industry will have a lot of use for me, pretty soon.
