      If you could make a playlist of writing/books, right now mine would be: + Tailspin + Shop Craft as Soulcraft + Hillbilly Elegy & the comments on culture in this essay on Joe & The Juice (specifically: it’s like working at Lululemon but for bros?)https://www.fastcompany.com/3066489/coffee-sandwich-and-a-side-of-edgy-how-joe-the-juice-aims-to-take-over-the …

      I kind of want someone to fite me (like argue about it but in the genteel nice friendly way) about Tailspin and tell me what’s wrong with the ideas in it, even though I only just started Chapter 3

      From the reviews I've read, a bunch of people would fite you about Hillbilly Elegy. Case in point, Linda Tirado:https://twitter.com/killermartinis/status/946546813917687808?lang=en …

      Specifically I am thinking of the very brief section at the beginning of HE where he discusses the value of work and attitudes toward having/holding good jobs.

          It’s included moderately as a proxy for a conversation I had with an Oregon carpenter I met and spoke to at length who decried generational change in attitudes toward work because he couldn’t find reliable help - this maybe 7-8 years ago or so now.

          I haven’t read HE, and don’t plan to, (and you should definitely talk to @KillerMartinis about it), but I can talk about the change in attitude toward work, because I’ve spent a lot of time on it, & in general it’s BS.

          Every generation since the start of the industrial revolution thinks the generation coming up behind them is soft & lazy, but the trend in each is that they are more educated ( at least in first world countries), and the world they live in is substantially different than before.

          There are still an unchanging principles and values, but the way we get things done can be vastly different. Before I go further, I want to address the carpenter.

          I’m sure that person was skilled at the craft and had an exceptional standard for their work. I’m also sure that they felt certain pressures, both economic & professional, to deliver their product/service.

          Replying to @e_d_sanders @starsandrobots and

          They would undoubtedly have liked to find someone who shared their passion & had the skills to contribute to lighten their burden but the reality of economics likely leaves little room for error so they can’t start with someone unskilled.

          If they did hire an assistant they would almost assuredly limit the scope of their work because they have a standard they are not sure the assistant can meet. Teaching someone on the job, when you can’t afford mistakes is awfully tough.

          That they couldn’t find the right match isn’t a big surprise. But at the same time, there are great carpenters doing great work coming up everyday. Great teachers, lawyers, engineers, chefs, and everything else too. They will always be coming, & there will never be enough.
