| > Why should I do anything worthy? Because your future doesn't rely on you having a job now, it relies on you continually improving and sharpening your skills. Does your current job give you that? No, it does the opposite; it kills you. By getting out of it, you're doing your future self a favor. I was kinda half-way there. I just quit my day job last week. First advice: don't rush back into hacking. Give yourself sometime to cool off, just lay back and relax (metaphorically). Do whatever things you enjoy in life, maybe your thing is watching shows/movies, reading books, going out, get into something interesting like music, martial arts, whatever. > But I can't feel that it matters. I have a job that pays me well. Why should I do more? I'm terrified that I've lost my answer to that question. 1. Your job is rotting your brain. I think you already know that. 2. You don't have to have a startup idea that works to quit. It's not about having a particular idea. It's about hacking and solving problems. I'm sure you can regain your enthusiasm after some relaxation time, and when you do, just hack on stuff, don't worry about having to do any real project. "Real stuff" comes when you just casually go about solving problems. At the very least, by working on problems you find interesting, in your own time, you can refresh your hacking muscles, gain experience, get more stuff to put on your resume, and then find a better job. |
