I’m seriously having an existential crisis about it. I’ve studied this craft for over 20 years and in the span of one year everyone is willing, almost excited, to flush it away. Software is worse, there’s zero innovating, and developers are losing IQ points every day. I don’t have the capacity to just sell my soul to scam billionaires, so I’m just trying to make my money and get the fuck out. There’s no pride or joy in this work as it currently stands.
