> "I quit. I’ll take a sabbatical year. I’ll stop doing software."
This is where I'm at, quit back in April. These companies are just too insane, I'm not doing it any longer. I'm very lucky that I don't have to.
The thing is, I'm not convinced it's tech that's the problem, or even software jobs generally. American corporations are just crazy-making places to work, constantly pushing for more while simultaneously destroying the circumstances that make it possible to perform. They try to goad you into feeling you have more to prove, no matter what you've pulled off. That was all in the past- what have you done for us lately?
It's simply too insane. I don't have anything to prove any longer. I've accomplished plenty, and at times done a whole lot with very little in the way of resources and preparation. And so what?

I'd rather just garden.
