/tech/ - Soyence and Technology

When did you understand that tech jobs have nothing to do with programming and you can derive joy from writing code only if you build a pet project? I dont even work in IT anymore because I'm tired of learning 10000 things that I have no interest in and will be irrelevant in a year when you'll have to learn another 10000 things and repeat this cycle until you're laid off in favour of a jeet or AI. Programming was my dream job but it crushed hard, now I only write code as a hobby and am trying to create products with embedded and stuff, I helped a relative with it so I got some experience. Idk. I just dream of becoming a rich capitalist and spending my spare time writing opensource stuff nophono cares fan about for fun in my free time. Or something to that extent yeah
