Comment on Ask HN: Too "smart" for my own good?

Comments

Do you like to develop and improve the latest technology? Do you contribute to the projects you're bringing into your job? If so, look into getting a more "low-level" job in that you build software and tools that other developers use to build business projects.

Do you like to advance the cause of the latest technology? Look into being hired as a developer evangelist.

If what you want to do is use the technology to build business applications, then I urge you to develop a side project using your favorite technology and transfer as many good qualities of those technologies as possible into your day work. For example, your skill writing and organizing Clojure functions will certainly improve your PHP functions. Later on, you might find a job that requires your kind of tech or your side project might become your full-time project.
