I hope your story isn't or rather doesn't become anecdotal and in the future becomes the norm for those in the system field.
This thread has been mostly pessimistic, perhaps there is hope yet?
- Stratoscope 10y agoThanks, you are very kind. But if you read between the lines, you may note that I'm not quite as happy with my story as I'd like to be. There were so many opportunities I've had that I didn't capitalize on. jQuery was one. Another was Visual Basic, the VBX, and being known at the time as a Famous Windows Programmer. Before that was my infamous Steve Jobs story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7451018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7451018 Maybe this is one big advantage of youth: you can make mistakes like this and still have many years to correct them. At my age, well, I still do have plenty of good years ahead of me, but I certainly don't have as much room to "pivot" as I used to.
