You don't have to be the best at what you do, either. Being pretty good is just fine.

I'm glad that I'm not the best at what I do. I'd be working more hours, given too much responsibility, picking up the slack for people, subject to more meetings, etc. None of that is for me.

Right.

One thing is for sure, and that's that I'm the best me, and you're the best you.

I spent most of a day yesterday trying to get openssh 8.0 working on Debian 2 (with 1998 era kernel, glibc, etc). Because I can.

Genuinely more fun than all the toys money can buy.

It didn't even work. Fuck.
