#12I guess that's why book writers used pseudonyms. Suggestion : blueharvester

#13I deeply feel that very moment he describes, when a fun side project becomes a real duty and you have to work on it because people demand it. If you're without funds or income, it might be your only option, so even if it's not fun, it doesn't matter as long as it might generate income eventually. But once you're past that requirement, these things often stay little side projects that rarely end up being finished.
But these little side projects are basically how I taught myself most of what I know in programming.

#15That's what I like about Notch: He's got a conscience and great self-awareness.
I can find issues with his games but I've always liked the guy and continue to do so. Great success, Notch!

"English" should be capitalized. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

#20How addictive is minecraft? It sounds great. But I quit video games a few years back, and don't have good willpower with them.
I work from home as well, so there's no natural limits on my time. But I'd love to try the game in a limited way.
