I work with a guy who makes a lot more than me, and he describes his salary as "spending money" because he has so many other ventures, contract jobs, and investments. His attitude about code is that no one in the future is going to look at your code like it's the Iliad. It's not art. It's just a tool. Almost none of us have any legacy to speak of with regard to this work. Your priorities as a father are worth it. You and your child will remember and cherish a day at the park far more than a well designed program.
- scrapcode 2y agoYeah, I get that- I guess I meant more of my trade categorization. I don't really have a specialty. I really am just an "IT Guy" for a large org with a background in dev, so I'm seeked out for things that seem like that skillset might favor (which ends up just being stuff like Sharepoint pages and BI dashboards unfortunately). Maybe I could come up with something "buzzy" for my son to tell his friends...
