I left employment in the tech industry for freelance work. I really dislike Agile/Scrum/Kanban or whatever the new thing is that lets middle management put pressure on developers. I don't like the stress of open offices, meetings to tell everyone how soon I'll be done, or working around many people who are literally sociopaths and sycophants. I love to code though and find enormous enjoyment in writing software, its very soothing in itself. So now I do freelance and spend the extra time to make things right and try to improve at my craft. Still reading HN because lots of cool stuff pops up on here. Zero regrets on the move, I really knew I didn't want a career path that kept me in an office after the first year. I just stayed around until I had the skills I wanted and then went out on my own.
