De geek Yourself Before It Gets Too Late

De geek Yourself Before It Gets Too Late

Nick Bradbury, a software developer extraordinaire (he wrote FeedDemon, HomeSite and TopStyle), very recently celebrated his 40th birthday [picture via FaceBook].

Nick has probably experienced tech life more than us. Today, he makes a very honest confession asking young geeks, bloggers, programmers and everyone else in the tech sector to de-geekify before it gets too late.

When I was working on HomeSite over a decade ago, I rarely left my desk.  If I wasnt coding, I was answering email or doing some other work-related task.  I hardly slept, ate far too much junk food, and traded my health for what I thought was a successful career as a software developer.

If that sounds familiar to you, do yourself a favor and stop living this way.  Its not worth it.  Eventually youll look back and wish you wouldve spent more time getting out and meeting people (non-geeky people, that is), and youll look down at your pizza-filled belly and wonder how you let yourself get so unhealthy. Dont Trade Your Life for Tech

Sriram adds - Im in my early 20s and doing exactly what you were doing. You are the second person in this week to say the same thing. Definitely something for me to think about.
