I basically stuck with it, because I liked the people I worked with, and they gave me enough free time to do the stuff I enjoy doing, while paying me...OK, for the stuff I don't enjoy doing.

What I really enjoy doing, is writing code for free. The kind of code that I write, on my own, is precisely the kind of code that most modern corporations don't want.

I take Quality very seriously, and that's actually an impediment, in today's coding culture.

I can tell you with certainty that there are indeed cultures that take code quality seriously. In fact, almost above anything else. However, the work itself may be uninteresting to you. Life in tech for me has been a series of impedance mismatches. I love diagrams... I keep an Ikigai Venn diagram on my wall. It helps me focus and evaluate.

I find that I am happier now, than I have ever been.
