From Software to Soup: On Trading Coding for Crepes

Legal Serf writes "Having lived through the best of eTimes and the worst (hopefully) of times, I bet everyone (still employed) has had daydreams of chucking it all and escaping the present malaise permeating most tech companies. The NY Times ('open' but not 'free' registration) has a piece about ex-dotcomers who've traded visions of iBuzzwords for soup, crepes and hotdogs. What?s most interesting is that everyone interviewed pretty much said the same thing: It's nice to provide something of real value to customers who are actually happy to trade money for goods, even if it's just dessert. Anyone out there feeling the same? (About the value of tech or the temptations of other trades?) (I keep thinking about these tech friends I have that fantasize about opening a hip babershop...)"

Who fucking told you to buy a 400k house and lease 2 cars? If you like it...fine...but you sound like you hate your job and you fill your life with meaningless possessions to make yourself feel better.

BTW if your kids want cool clothes tell them to get fucking josb and earn it. Kepp spoiling the cunts and they will grow up to be bigger dick suckers than you already are.
