The Hacker Ethic

Hacking at self, ethics, and life.

Be lazy

You think you’re smart. You create things. You write. You produce. You generate.

Well don’t.

You need to filter what you create. Throw most of it away. Toss out the ideas before they become the drivel you normally produce. Curate the shit out of your shit.

Better yet: be lazy. Don’t start something until it’s interesting. Don’t tell anyone about it until it’s great. Don’t build what you don’t need to, and even then resist doing it. Only do what matters. The rest is a waste of your time.

Do what you can do better than anyone else, what rocks your world, and abandon everything else. A curated you is a better you.
