A month or so off felt pretty good. Lots of great stuff out there in the RSSsphere, despite the coming apocalypse. This choice nugget from Cal Newport on building a great career really hit home:
The courage culture paints a tempting picture of how people end up with remarkable lives. It tells a story where you’re the main character, fighting evil forces, and ultimately triumphing after a brief but intense battle.
The reality is decidedly less exciting. Remarkable careers require that you become remarkably good. This takes time. But not necessarily a string of defiant rejections of some mysterious status quo.
As for feed reading, I’ve stashed my feed list, and may just go Brent Simmons and live with the next NetNewsWire.
