I am so jealous. 25 years of crud and framework chasing and I'd never get close to that. I am slightly closer now but not much.

If I had my time again I'd honestly just apply for job 1 make ends meet then continously apply to get a job like this where you can go deep.

Money is probably good but just for the interestingness. That DCOM and SOAP shit I did is worthless now. Most tech is non compounding.

I agree with you. I spend me free time deep-diving in such topics. I find hard to use this knowledge in a useful way at my job. The job market for deep topics is hard to penetrate.
