Left engineering & Google on my own accord in August 2020. WFH was the catalyst that helped push me over the edge, but it was a long time coming. The underlying feeling I always had when working on programming at work versus programming at school and graduate work: I am being paid to re-type out things that many people have typed out before. As I saw waves of layoffs both pre and post LLMs, it's funny how my gut intuition led me down the right road at the right time. Always trust your gut.

Note to readers: I had very bad results with trusting my gut.
Can you explain?
Let's say it like this: at least being on the "autism spectrum" impairs the reliability of various gut intuitions.
