For me, what I do is fairly closely linked with who I am. It's no longer unhealthy, but it used to be.

A lot of my legacy will be completely unheralded, and that's as it should be.

I do appreciate (but can't really say I "like") these posts.

Much better than the old "GBCW" (GoodBye Cruel World) posts that people used to post, when they rage-quit forums.

Im a generally happy, fulfilled person but if I get one more chance to blast the HN crowd on my way out Im gonna take it

If you care to elaborate, it would be interesting to know what change made the link no longer unhealthy.

I had to give this some thought. It's one of those "I know it's true; but not sure why" things.

I believe that it happened when I found out that I'm "on the spectrum," fairly late in life (in my forties).

Before that, my work was "scratching an itch," but after, it was "doing what I love."
