Riffing on the recent post about game development, I wondered how the HN community would define a “dream job.” What are the characteristics? How would such a job work?
A job that I enjoy, where I am challenged in a creative and constructive way (fighting management and bad culture is not constructive, but improving my programming skills and solving new problems is).
A job where I feel like I have a good impact on the world, my works somehow brings happiness to people, maybe it's a charity, maybe it's just entertainment but still, something that gives good emotions to people.
A job that is well paid and possibly, remote. Or at least with enough flexibility that I don't feel a slave of the office.
I know that can be a lot, but I believe all those things would actually contribute to making me even more productive.
