I’ve always wanted to leave tech and become a boat mechanic but yeah same deal
I farm now, but I still run my own infra and build apps. I just do it in the winter when I have nothing else to do.
And I don't miss the users. One. Single. Bit.
Depends on the person and what they've dealt with. I've worked IT since '99, but I'm not really burnt out. There are definitely things I dislike, but I still enjoy tech, I still enjoy gaming, and I'm still interested in future tech, even if I do agree I don't like the direction it's going in.
Part of it is that I seem to have a pretty decent burnout warning sensor, and I just stop whatever no work thing moving me that way for a while. Yes I like games, but I like reading, I like climbing, I like biking, I like photography, I like nature, I like the stars, etc.
Another reason may be that while I dislike the way some tech is going, I have other worries about either nontech stuff or just the main reason tech stuff is going in wrong directions, and those worry me more, so tech can still be an escape from worse worries.
For me it's not the direction tech is going but rather why it's going that way. Tech used to be about innovation and creating cool stuff. Nowadays it's more about turning a profit. Cloud was not new or innovative, it was just a more profitable way of doing things.
neofetch guy can confirm
If my cable printer would make a noise I didn't recognize, I'd shoot it.
If I had to start over I'd probably start with a plumbers apprenticeship. I like the work, and there's something to be said about having "completed" a job at the end of a day that you don't really get even if you close a feature.
It amuse me how people in Tech always say funny things about Tech 🤭🤭🤭
