If you need Info on your 3rd point …. i could write you a book

Paul Graham’s writing is usually inspiring, but most of it is on hacking, writing and art. “Undergraduaton” and “What You’ll Wish You’d Known” are motivating but targeted at students. I think “make your day job your day job” is lacking…

Hamming’s talk has a lot of good stuff. You seem to be drawing useful things from it.

Good luck. If you want, I can read over stuff once you put some ideas and words together.

I vote doom and gloom.
