George Carlin on work
June 26th, 2008 by Mark Ramm
George Carlin’s passing this week was a suprising loss, not least because I always thought of someone who told hard truths in a way that made you laugh.
One of his famous quotes is:
Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
In my experience this is true of too many software developers, and it’s a tragedy, particularly because when done well, software is about creative problem solving, which is the antithesis of “working just hard enough.”
