I can't seem to access my ATDP log from here for some reason.
Anyway, I wanted to repost a link to a pretty good essay about Doing What You Love that ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) andreags posted.
I noticed later that the guy who wrote it, Paul Graham, also co-founded/wrote an essay about Viaweb. They made us all read the essay back in 6.001 as proof that LISP wasn't useless in industry.
I'm trying to decide whether his essay is more or less valid now that I know that he's financially wealthy.
The other interesting thing is that this is my second follow-random-links-on-the-internet excursion that ended up on Robert Morris's wikipedia entry. -_-; The internet is repeating itself. Or something. There's probably some sort of math proof in that :P
"If you think something's supposed to hurt, you're less likely to notice if you're doing it wrong. That about sums up my experience of graduate school." - Paul Graham |
