It's frustrating being very late 30's and still not having reached any major successes. All I really want is to be able to have my own single entrepreneur business. It shouldn't be so hard to find at least one idea that will support me and my family as a software engineer.
This guy is a CTO, so he's hit that milestone I guess. I'm still hungry.
- krapp 12y agoI essentially lost my career right before I turned 35 - it was the only job I had for more than a year, and I had it for a decade. It was an existential car crash. Here I am about to turn 37 and I'm back in school again, fighting off the constant fear in the back of my head that my entire life will amount to a tale told by an idiot, only without even sound or fury. I've more or less given up on major success. I just kind of want to not live hand to mouth now. But you never know. The one thing i've learned not to do is fool myself into thinking I know what shape the future will take. Cynicism is a lot easier when you think you're immortal.
