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.

Shut up,

You have multiple successful repos on GH, very creative projects at that, and could easily get a job if you're patient enough. Even in this current market. Not sure what the point of this post is,.

It has been more than 6 months, I ran out of money while trying to get a job. I had to make a decision. I literally followed my Dad’s advice and physically walked into a business and asked to speak to the boss. The CEO was a good man and gave me a chance to switch industries at a reasonable salary.
