well, I am still unsure of my exact type...
however, recently I ended up going into a little bit of a rant, of which I have included some of the text (my ability to remain detached is a little weak recently, me becoming randomly irritable I guess).
just figuring, maybe people could help locate this:
----
people can do whatever they want really, but in industry, it is all about
the market, and getting a product to this market (all so we can get money,
so we can make more products, ...).
now, in my case, I like code and techy things, the market being both a goal
and a tool.
money for things and things for money, all so that one can hopefully
increase both, in this world bent on holding us back and forcing us into
this menial existence...
(everyone with hopes and dreams, all dreams crushed as a prerequisite of
joining the "real world", as we all become dull and lazy with no real hope
of achieving anything much beyond leisure and various "pleasures"...).
and, for a while, one ends up buying into all this, only later to discover
that they have at least some personal freedom, which has all been squandered as so many lost years of braindead conformance...
(after all, it is not conformance making this world move along, that
industry is driven by all our peaceful diligence and concerns for
"self-image", striving to "get to the top" in some elaborate popularity
contest masquerading as a meaningful and useful existence...).
and the end product:
the world is a better place, since in the end all this crap ends up in the
hands of individuals and hobbyists anyways, more power to the people as a
whole... ever increasing the power of industry to make more products, ...
of course, then there is this big letdown, "who am I"?... just another
pointless hobbyist it seems, irrelevant to the larger scheme of things...
things would be a lot easier though if I had money and people around who
actually knew how to do anything useful...
("build it and they will come" it seems, one has to bootstrap the process
somehow I guess...).
oh well...
