To my eye you seem to be extolling the virtues of the work. Which I still love.

[justrudd]

For sure. I love my side projects and my jobs. I love writing code and designing systems. I’m burned out on the game I must play (and be good at) to be afforded the chance to write code, design systems, and be paid.

Isn't that part "the industry" being what it is?

[justrudd]

Yeah. I just try to separate them in my mind or I’ll quit trying :) Not ready to retire just yet.
