Technical advice is what most people want from me.
I have spent most of my life tinkering with tech things. Particularly, I know how to build websites and different applications that exist on the internet. My passion isn’t technology in itself. Most technology is useless and, as I said, I aim to be useful.
The first question I usually ask someone who wants my tech advice is:
What problem are you trying to solve?
I then usually ask:
How is the problem solved by the tech?
If the problem isn’t solved by tech, I suggest Googling the problem if I don’t know an immediate way the problem can be solved. (Google solves so many of my problems!)
Technical solutions are another big service that people ask of me.
When people ask me to solve their problems with technology, I have to think hard about taking on the work. I am trying to solve a certain set of issues.
In order to maintain Equanimity (”Ataraxia”), I must maintain focus.
As I said before, I simply want to understand more.
I want to remain curious.
The person who is always curious can also be called “wayward.”
Waywardness works against usefulness.
In order be as useful as I can be, I ask:
What is the biggest problem I can solve?
I know that most people seek out my technical ability, so I hypothesize that the biggest problems I can solve can be solved by technology.
I also have to look at what I want to get better at.
Business has been an interest since I was very young.
