| My two year-long plan: 1. Move out of the expensive city into a lower-cost of living country. 2. Buy cheap property with cash, reduce my expenses to a minimum. 3. Take a long time off to figure out what the world will look like in a year. 4. Learn a trade skill, hand-code for fun. Considering becoming an electrician, with a hobby for retrocomputing and repairing electronics. I am at step 2 currently, and my current job contract ends in the summer. I can’t wait, man. Enjoy your AI-assisted coding; after 20 years I am out. To be fair, to hedge my bets, I am working on a side-project/game. Clankers are a long way from creating art, and I need this outlet after decades of soulless engineering. |
