Personally I have the restraint they are talking about. It’s just laziness in disguise though
Laziness gets a bad rap, stupidly bad when you look at how work-obsessed many 1st-world countries are, and the effects that has on people’s health, empathy, and the ability to leave well-enough alone.
I do find the pipeline pretty funny:
- I’m bad at programming, I should find some side-projects to practice.
- I can solve some things, I should find some side-projects to put that to use.
- I can solve pretty much anything, given enough time, I really need to cut back on side-projects to free up time.
