If you hate your boss, make a project
If you're hateful and you know it, clap your hands! Technically incompetent, zero technical skills, pathetically uninspiring. These are the kindest words I can use to describe him. I need an escape. I need hope. A new job, ideally, would do the job for me But escape is hard. The latest dose of hopium that I have obtained is from a project that makes the AI companies hate me. A Side Project. Gone are the days of angrily applying to jobs while your boss bullshits on the call. While he bullshits, we create.
I think we exist to bring new things into existence. If you ask me, to the extent there is a meaning of life, that’s it. We exist to create. It lights us up in a way nothing else does, putting something new into our world—and in doing so, fundamentally changing it, in whatever way, however big or small.
