maybe “do something big (oss) to get something little (a job)” is messing with your motivation maybe you should try “do something (relatively) little (write a soft) to get something big (a startup company)”

yeah, I mean I'll always have a problem with motivation wrt jobs, jobs are just hell I'll try to get out of the rat race but now I need a source of income within the next month and doing a startup is not that

NB I thought exactly that every time I was about to get a job: I'll just get a job real quick, to have financial security, and then start working on finding a way to get out but then I was too numbed from doing the job that I never seriously worked on getting out

lol, not saying it’s *the* answer, but i took a job (security) that essentially didn’t take much brain-glucose from me, and actually allowed me hours of free time at night, just so i could pursue a startup and now i use all my free time for twitter

Why are you not contracting? I work 4 months a year and you don’t have to care it’s amazing

Oh well, for me, contracting *is* the way out of the rat race... I like coding enough to do it for money but not to do it in my free time... so I do it for as much money as possible for as little time as possible... don't care *at all* about the job...and have 8 months off

you need 40% of the hustle skill of a sales job. 100% of the skill needed to use a spreadsheet... except applied to html, css and javascript. Then you need about 50% of the courage as a skydive? Spread over a 12 month period. I do html and css only for £350/day
