The greatest gift

I always thought the greatest gift was to be able to do stuff yourself, without having to do it through others. It was the act of creating that was the priviledge. If you had a choice between being a player or a coach, wouldn’t everyone choose to be a player? I guess not.

Lo dice Dave Winer en uno de sus hilos abiertos sobre (entre otros) por qué nunca ha dejado de programar. Me ha recordado que Monty Widenius tampoco ha dejado de programar. Que mi hermana, ingeniera informática con la carrera recién terminada, me ha dicho que los mejores de su clase no quieren dejar de programar. Me ha recordado la filosofía subyacente a Apprenticeship Patters.
