I felt the same way. I quit. I'm still unemployed.

I will admit the job I had wasn't nearly as dreary, but I was still plagued by the fact that what I was doing was utterly pointless and had zero value.

In retrospect, I wish I had just grown the fuck up and accepted the simple fact that the chances of any person on this earth making his or her life meaningful outside of his or her own family are astronomically slim. The machine we contribute to is one that takes in money, spits out more money, and creates very little value in the process.

Stunned by Go 13 years ago

This behavior is explicitly defined in the godoc for io. I don’t see why the author should be "stunned" by a function doing exactly what it says it does.

You forgot "You are financially well-off."

And here I was, excited at the prospect of an easy way out of this agonizing feedback loop.
