If I ever get fired or can't find a job in tech, my backup plan is simple: open a pastry bakery. At least when the dough doesn't rise, I can blame the yeast instead of the product manager.

Started a YouTube channel. I have to try something. Also I'm trying to be very flexible about the work I take on.

This is probably my backup as well. I'll just have to get good at YouTube.

When AI takes all the white collar jobs is it going to come after our YouTube channels next? Well let's give it a try anyways, we don't have full time jobs any longer.

Maybe sell some things is a good start? What ideas have you come up with?
