Hackers vs. Painters

2003-05-15 02:58:45.10773+02 by Shawn 0 comments

Can't remember where I got it, but I thought this was an excellent essay comparing hackers and painters. It really struck a cord with me and finds me at a time in my life when I'm beginning to realize the possible/probable importance of viewing work prospects as a "day job".
