Do your own thing
Marco Arment:
I wasn’t truly comfortable doing my own thing until years later, but I remembered that night. A stoned guy’s idle conversation became the goal for my life outlook. No other statement or occurrence has been more fundamental in making me stop worrying about what other people think and do, which in turn makes it true.
Marco is pitch-perfect in this article, and his “translations” of job titles such as Programmer and Software Engineer ring truer than I care to admit.
