Who the Hell Is This Joyce (1928)
Great post.  In fact, this is the perfect article to counter the fist-shaking cries of &quot;Why is this article posted on Hacker News?&quot;<p>The take-aways from this article are so broad that they are applicable to many disciplines, especially coding, technology, and entrepreneurship.  Here we have two writers with very different ends. Joyce, the great poker of form, who must have mildly infuriated the utilitarian and reductive sensibilities of Wells.<p>The letter makes me reflect on the tensions of my own life between engaging in more experimental flights of fancy (where I&#x27;m making something I really love) and, conversely, asking myself if other people may actually find value in what I&#x27;m doing.  Either way, I find articles like this much more insightful than another Iphone headphone jack op-ed or whispers from the Elon Musk rumour mill.
