An ambitious computer programmer visited a small village in Silicon Valley and noticed a local coder working on a small project that seemed to bring joy to the community. Intrigued, the programmer asked, “How long did it take you to create this program?”
The local coder replied, “Oh, just a little while. It’s enough to meet the village’s tech needs.”
Perplexed, the programmer suggested, “But imagine if you dedicated more time and developed more advanced software. You could create a tech empire, move to the big city, and be hailed as a coding genius!”
The local coder, smiling, said, “Well, I prefer to keep things simple. I work a bit, code a bit, enjoy time with my family, take naps, and in the evening, I share my creations with the villagers. Life is good, my friend.”
The programmer chuckled, “You’re missing out on the big picture! With your skills, you could conquer the tech world! Imagine the wealth and fame!”
The local coder pondered for a moment and asked, “And then what?”
The programmer proudly declared, “You’d retire early, move to a quiet village, work on passion projects, spend time with your loved ones, and in the evenings, join the locals for tech discussions and laughter.”
The local coder grinned and said, “Well, amigo, that sounds a lot like what I’m doing now. Why complicate life when you can just enjoy the simple code of happiness?”
