<i>I don’t want to become a pointy-haired boss therefore I’m not going for management; I don’t want to have anything in common with suits and meetings and investors and therefore would not go for entrepreneurship</i><p>After some years of this mindset I finally realized that the proportion of excellent people to mediocre ones is roughly the same in every profession. I no longer draw the lines between "hackers" and "suits" (a kindergarden  attitude, really), but between excellent people and mediocre people. It's liberating. You can go into any profession with this mindset and it will be your own personal playground.
