Thanks for this. Lots of good information to ponder. Reflecting, I'm still active and doing things I'm interested in (putting a modern engine in a 60's motorcycle because I wanted to, and it was the most expedient way to do so), I get on the road bike every other day, and there's plenty of plans and things to work for. I think the part that's been making me hyperventilate is that I'm at an inflection point in my career, adapt or die, and the things I've been great at and paid well for...I won't be. I've got good skills and intuition at handling security data at scale and need to lean into that. Creating and maintaining the infrastructure to do that is what's going away. I was in incident response and occasionally miss it. It was VERY interesting, but If I'm honest, I don't think I was enjoying it at the time. I certainly didn't enjoy the schedule the attackers made me keep. Your observations on having a library are things I've seen in other people in the field, I shied away from it because it always seemed like the things I was interested in hadn't fully gelled yet, And it always seemed that way. So now the internet is my library, with no margin notes and many more hits returned to overwhelm. I hear ya on the Monitor front. Working on cars/motorcycles has gotten a lot more difficult lately as things are too dim, too close to see with my glasses on, and just far enough away to see with my glasses off.
