Rich's talks have been the apex of my programming career. I didn't like sitting in front of a computer to the extent needed to make a living from it, so I moved on to another industry. And maybe I wasn't smart enough to become competent in Clojure. But I'm thankful for the eureka moments that Rich offered me. He's such a beautiful mind.

Would love to know what industry you ended up in. Daydreaming about working with my hands out and about one day lol.

A lot of people abandon tech for less stressful careers. Things like air traffic control and firefighting, or deep sea diving for the oil industry.

I'm pivoting to mental health. But the trades are quite appealing too!
