Me too, and for approx the same period. I ended up with about 2ft of CACMs realising the amount I'd actually read was tiny. They're fascinating to dip into though. Worth the ~100 USD/y to someone, but, I concluded, not me. I think these decisions are interesting for early career software engineers. Then, sometimes life takes you a direction where a professional affiliation makes sense, sometimes it doesn't.
