About doing what you really want and getting an income: sometime they don't mix well.

Right now, I am just building projects on whatever I felt like doing. Some are no doubt, useful to everybody else. However, the rest may be just be interesting only to me or solve a problem that is unique only to me.

Do I know where I will get my money? No clues. However, it been a blast for me, personally. I learn a few tech such as meteor.js and how to develop chrome extensions, although I really want greybeard knowledge(algorithms, debugging, and other core skills), not the latest fad.



Yeah, it's about making the world better on your terms. I think the crowd can be a better proxy of value to society than the corporation.


You will still need to market yourself to the crowd and find work that you like but that the crowd will fund.

Some passions, no doubt, will not be rewarded.


Very, very true.
