I need to stop being boring
Drop stuff that doesn&#x27;t work. I started programming as a kid. 40 years ago. I wrote a game with a friend while we were at school. It made us a tiny amount of money for 3 years work. I dropped out of programming (several times now). I travelled, close to home, and working in return for food and accomadation (with a scheme called WWOOF). I&#x27;ve done farm work, forestry, woodworking, butchery, construction, blacksmithing. At the moment I&#x27;m trying to make a living turning wool from friend&#x27;s sheep into yarn and hats. Honestly. I accidentally came up with a game and put it online last week cos I thought the idea was funny and interesting, like Randall Monroe&#x27;s &quot;What If?&quot; (which I was listening to on audiobook before I got the idea). Chances are I just blew a hundred pounds on hosting and domains but maybe, just maybe, it&#x27;ll bring some money in somehow. otherwise I&#x27;ll just keep on crocheting. Or some other thing. Don&#x27;t be one thing. Do shit that you love. Last year I tried making and selling homemade excavator toys (here&#x27;s an early prototype: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=J5gQZs8edzs&amp;ab_channel=JamesWilder" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=J5gQZs8edzs&amp;ab_channel=James...</a>). Fuck about. Just don&#x27;t sit at a desk trying to build the next big thing cos there are thousands of others doing the same. Find what&#x27;s unique and special about you, even if it&#x27;s something small. And run with it. Are you boring? What&#x27;s the craziest story you can tell about yourself?
