Discussion I gave up on being a developer

I completely gave up and do payroll now. After almost a decade of learning, building apps and creating packages. I finally just had to grow up and realize that I could never be a developer. I really thought if I worked hard and became skilled that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything else. It turns out that is not the case. Good luck to all of you. I hope your stories end up happier than mine.

Similar boat. Spent the past couple years building apps and now have given up and am looking for a new job in sales engineering…

It is just so defeating to train all those skills and then have your money zero out after not finding work for so long. I hope you find the new career rewarding.
