That sounds awful. Especially noticing it changes you as a person. I hope you find a way to deal with it that is acceptable.

When making decisions they say you should toss a coin. And then when it's in the air look within to see what you are secretly hoping for. After posting this I was instinctively hoping that HN would talk me out of a career in IT. So may

That's pretty weird, because just a couple of days ago I thought to myself that this exact connection surely exists. It was just an observation about myself and many people who I know well enough to make a judgement about that particul

Thanks for that nuanced insight. I'm currently trying out whether frontend development could be for me in my mid thirties. I knew that bootcamp marketing and YouTubers were exaggerating when it came to the jobs and their requirements.

How come most people say software devs are in demand and then there is this comment saying he receives 4000+ applications on a job and nobody in Europe should consider this career? Can perspectives on reality be this far apart, or is he tro
