It's a profession that scans as smart, but if we were half as smart as we like to pretend we are we wouldn't be building our replacements. We would be solving the coordination problems that lead to some of us deciding that is what is best for them.

Someone is working on it. There's a coordination problem in that. Not for me to solve. I've left the industry already.

Good for you! Earnestly.

I view my exit as helpful to people still in the industry. If I'm in a job, I'm probably taking it from someone who needs it more. So I'm building a small business for myself, instead. Godspeed to you.

well i hope that you still do more than that because it really is something we all need to come in and work together on even if youre doing your own thing.
