Does that mean when you’re a famous blogger you’re not going to thank the little people?
Next time I punch someone in the face, I’ll tell them it’s not as bad as eating a donut.

I don’t care how adult or eloquent it might be, this comment fragment (specifically in the context of working as a grunt in the software industry, startup or not) still makes me
giggle:

But human beings are bright sparks in a simmering universe of dust — I feel like in some existential sense, we as humans not /meant/ to toil at arbitrary tasks. We’re meant to live, to experience, and to make connections. To be in love, to witness beauty. Maybe to create some beauty of our own.

Makes me want to run right out and parse some xml or something!
