Thanks Chary.
Work is completely different. Work involves collaborating and corralling
other people toward a common goal ("leadership"). Negotiating and
compromising over parameters of the thing we're building, coming up with
decent enough solutions that make most people happy enough (vs.
near-complete dictatorial control and indulging perfectionistic
tendencies). Lots of talking, selling the production, talking with clients,
trying to get things launched with measurable impact. It's a completely
different game, with a different level of engagement, a different (much
slower) pace, and completely different outcomes. I'd be lying if I didn't
say "I don't want to grow up" and I still prefer hacking on something
myself. Some people devolve into woodwork or learn to fly airplanes on
retirement; I'm going to spend mine building software.
