That’s a good point! Though, I would still argue that things like RC cars are more mainstream then a video about building a RISC-V emulator or re-implementing an existing protocol.
I think DIY content is so hard to make. For me, it usually involves building stuff that I find interesting, but that is usually super niche and doesn’t appeal to a mainstream audience. Thus, less views which makes the whole time spent on making the video feel wasted compared to other projects I could be doing.
On the other hand, I could try to build projects that might be more mainstream for the better views, but then I’m spending time creating stuff I don’t want to make.
Wait, why is everyone so distraught about this? Am I missing something? This only affects people who upload their photos to iCloud?
Just don't store any data on iCloud. Seems simple enough. Yeah sure, we can make conspiracy theories and all, but based off of what was officially announced I'm not understanding all the hysteria.
> Work is about finding a meaningful way of living your life, of creating something or giving something you can be proud of. If you just do it for money, you already fell prey for the bad parts of human greed and status games. This has nothing to do with other people.
Thanks for the wisdom! It's encouraging to know that other people have the same thought process but are still able to achieve what they want. It also goes against the whole "one career your whole life" mantra that I hear a lot.
Hmmm....but what if you are "stuck" in a job that pays decently (enough to cover needs) extremely flexible hours and unlimited vacation and awesome work life balance (sometimes less than 40 per week). But the actual work is pointless and boring. Is that time for a change?
Some people say yes, but often these are the people who are the "high achieving" tech workaholics who love to go home and code for fun.
Other people say no, and these are often the people who don't really care much about work and just look at it to a means to an end.
