I tried Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Amazon was confusing, not intuitive and because of hidden dashboards i had a running service that cost me money that i did not know about. Microsoft Azure was also very confusing and I don't think

I'm thankful that I managed to stay single, no divorce, no kids, money in the bank. And I essentially retired in my mid 30s, thanks to my dad who left me some money after he died, which I invested and did ok.

I never worked a full-timer job. Always part-time or freelancing. Mostly I worked 4h at the office and spent the rest of the day working on my stuff. Working for someone else makes me die inside every day I had to do it. It just goes agains
