Book Review: Fussell on Class

In the context of Fussell, I suppose the comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26351053 read that "having office hours for your open-source project because you have the leisure time" is upper-middle, whereas "having office hours for your open-source project because you have a growth mindset" is lower-middle...

Agreed. And of course the upper class wouldn't have anything to do with an open-source project at all, as that would imply they have something to prove, which they don't.

This is a timely comment as I struggle with understanding why I don't want to hustle, why I can't just relax in spite of having a tremendously interesting and well-paying job.

I've had an ongoing internal conflict because I am doing projects for the sheer fun of it with no predetermined outcome, but I feel like I should be #growthhackering instead. I hustled for years, and now I don't need to. I should just let myself be a dilettante. Thank you.
