> And become a goddam profession.

Hurray? What do we gain by becoming a profession? I guess we get 9 to 5 work, conferences, meetings and boredom. Sounds like we're a profession already, but I guess not. Honestly, I'm not sure I'm a big fan of professions.

Shiny things, those are what children like, and I guess children aren't professional so we should get rid of shiny things.

And since we're getting rid of childlike things, let's get rid of:

- The joy of discovery

- The feeling of creating something from nothing

- The empowerment of solving our problems in new ways

- The utter joy of entering a new community of amazing people

I guess we lose all that, because it's time to be a goddamn profession.
