Really enjoyed these excerpts from Hackers and Painters—Paul Graham has a way of capturing that restless creativity and need to build that so many of us can relate to. The comparison of programmers to artists, and the idea of challenging norms to create something better, really resonates. It reminded me of how even in industries that seem more physical or hands-on—like insulation—there's still room for that same kind of innovation and questioning. Whether it’s finding better ways to seal a drafty attic or thinking differently about how materials affect energy efficiency, the drive to improve and solve problems creatively is universal. view site
