Hacking work



Decent enough book. Contradicted itself in several places and didn't appeal as much as simpler work. By the core ideas were strong:
1. Corporate work is profoundly stupid because it's an aggregate of rules put in place to keep the lowest common denominator safe.
2. Most execs don't follow the stupid rules.
3. You have a 2% chance of getting fired for not following th unimportant rules (mostly IT).
4. Give yourself the freedom to break the rules to get the job done.

Couldnt agree with this more. My job didn't exist until my boss and I broke the rules and made it up as we went along. Now I have the best job I could have; because I made it up for myself.
