But I’ll tell you, I’m fifty. Been in my career for twenty five years. I still enjoy what I do but I’m getting fucking tired of the way software development is managed. People and corporations suck all the enjoyment out of otherwise fulfilling careers. I’m not looking to retire but if I hit the lottery tomorrow (which I won’t because I don’t gamble) I wouldn’t look back. Maybe I’d go fishing with my dad more. Once he retires.
We’re not so very different you and I. Take a couple words out and mad-lib them and I could have written this.
Fist-bump fellow disgruntled Gen-X’er. May we both win Fuck You money.
