Dear JustTryingToMakeRent employees,

Thank you very much for your open letter! And thank you for making the world such a wonderful place where coal is mined and plants are watered and everything works so flawlessly.

Is it really impossible to love those jobs? I often have the feeling that at least some of you are in a great mood when I meet you at your workplaces. For example when I visit my dentist. The whole team is always in a great mood, making jokes with each other, being friendly, enjoying the workday.

If there are jobs that simply cannot be loved - I think we should enhance or automate those. Let's start the debate. What job is nothing but shit?

I don't run a parakeet farm. I object to the "use" of animals. One of the things I love to do is write software though. Right now I am sitting in a nice internet cafe. At a window that overlooks a river. Sipping coffee, enhancing an application. And right now I love it. Chances are good that some of you are users of the application.

Yours, TekMol
