>What you say almost makes me want to learn enterprise.

Perspective is a funny thing. I started in the enterprise and was there through the bubble (excluding a brief stint at a startup). I then went on to found my own company some years later.

Anyway, it somehow never occured to me that people actually depend upon the startup ecosystem continuing to thrive, and would feel absent options without it. I mean, I guess it's obvious, but I suppose I just hadn't consciously considered that it really implies "startups as a career".

So, it's somewhat hilarious for me to read someone musing that maybe they should "learn enterprise".

I'm also not in SV or another startup hub. So, I'm sure it's partly cultural as well.

I'm actually still in school. So, I tend to muse over learning a lot of different things. Your life story was really neat though ;)

Interesting. I wasn't aware there was a choice between "learning enterprise" and (other?) in school nowadays. Back in my day, you'd come out with a solid foundation, equipped to make those choices. Hey, another perspective thing. Fancy that!

But, I'd say, yeah...get you some "enterprise" while you're there, especially if they're offering it for the same price. ;)

Glad you enjoyed my life story. Happy to share.
