Traveling, Writing and Programming
I just read a very inspiring post by Alex MacCaw on a round-the-world trip he took, during which time he wrote two books, hacked some code, and landed a job at Twitter. And in between surfed, hiked, and partied his way around the world.
The peculiar thing about programmers is that they’re the one profession that can easily work remotely and travel, and yet they’re the one profession that doesn’t. Of course there are exceptions, but on my travels I didn’t meet another programmer doing anything similar; a sad state of affairs. My message to fellow programmers is stop making excuses, man up and do it. You only live once, and I guarantee that you will have the time of your life.
Sigh. I should do this. I write book, I program, I love to travel. I should do it all.
