#275 Paul Graham

How to do what you love. To do something well, you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We've got it down to just four words. Do what you love.

But it's not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you love is complicated. When I was a kid, it seemed as if work and fun were opposites by definition. Life had two states. Some of the time adults were making you do things.

And that was called work. The rest of the time you could do what you wanted. And that was called playing. Work was pretty much defined as not fun. And it did not seem to be an accident.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
