The 6am (Wake up) Article called Fu$k That I am 34 years old, and Im going to spend it doing what I like doing, working on the projects I want to work on, and figuring out a way to make a living out of it even if I have to live out of my parents house for another 6 months. I am not going to get a job doing what other people tell me is important. While I am often very critical of myself as a person, realistically speaking, my only regrets are the moments I spent not working, or wasting time on things that werent important. It doesnt matter that Ive been working on a project most people dismiss as a childish fantasy since I was 18. It doesnt matter that I have no income and no normal job and no programming skills that would get me hired at a modern tech company because everyone hates C++ and only cares about web development. Im not working on something a CEO thinks is important, Im working on something I think is important. Im going to start a company so I can continue to work on what I think is important, and every single employee I will ever hire will work on something they think is important. This doesnt necessarily mean its fun - finding a rogue typecast is anything but fun - but rather its something that you are willing to ride the highs and lows through because it is intrinsically important to you, as a person. You should not wait until youre 35 with a family and a wife to worry about. Do it now. Do whatever is necessary to make it possible for you start working on whatever you think is important and then do it so hard you can make a living out of it. - Erik McClure
