Owyn, the article was not focused on "richness" from a money perspective. Success simply meant you have an "increased capacity to contribute to the world around you."
If financial success isn't your goal in doing what you do then I'm wrong and I apologize. My career is about code. My life "beyond it" is not about "business" and it's quite happy, thank you very much. That's the last thing I care about and it's not my fucking problem. Most of the companies I've worked for have gone out of business. This is hacker news. I am comfortable being the angry pessimist in the cave who snipes at others.
Owyn, I couldn't reply to your last reply as there was no reply option there :(
Yes, you are welcome to be angry and be pessimistic or in whatever mood you choose to be. And it's OK to disagree too. I never claim to know all the answers anyway :)
My comments were mostly "meta". There has been a rash of entrepreneur bs here lately and I'm sick of it. I much prefer the NoSQL posts. However. To get to the meat of your post, I have personally (meaning, in my personal life) encountered issues with 1,3,6,9 which I have overcome to one extent or another. Or not. So whatever. Fuck it. I'm going to sleep. Good luck with your whatevers, I have to write a bunch of code tomorrow.
