I'm not interested in resonating. I want to challenge people's beliefs. I don't care for platitudes. I want to dive down into the subtleties and tease out complex truths.

I don't think the professional world sucks. I think it's awesome. I spent much of my twenties doing construction work. That world sucks. The professional world sucks only so long as you lack professionalism.

Once you learn professionalism then the professional world stops being able to hold you. I have been Office Space-ing my work life down to where I can do pretty much whatever I want with my work time.

I have been cultivating business contacts for some time now, creating a network of clients so that I can make my jump into the business world. The professionalism you learn in corporate jobs is invaluable there.

Every day brings with it a more relaxed approach, more return on my efforts, more ease in learning new things.

Developers are missing out on the unique opportunities that the professional world offers by focusing on non-issues like whether their bosses will allow them to pay down technical debt. How utterly silly from my perspective! If it's that important to you, just man up and do it, damn the consequences!
