Can't listen to people talk, it distracts me. I recently discovered endel.io and never went a day without it (I am not affiliated with them, but paying subscriber)

TL;DR - embrace it, unless it hinders your life - its a sign what you enjoy and don't enjoy. Long story: I used to be introverted and awkward, couldn't hold eyesight with strangers - was really afraid. It was so bad that I tend to

Thats great, in fact I think devtools are probably one of the best areas of focus - so much to improve DX/UX wise!

Think you can always hack on the side, see if you enjoy that and try to transform it to a full-time again. There are soooo many more options in terms of learning materials these days that it was before!

Love this! 34 now, I started as a renewable energy analyst, moved into tech sales, then product and currently just hacking for fun but not looking into transitioning into a full-time SE. I truly believe we will have more than one career thr

Have been thinking a lot about this. There are more ways to make an impact, such as earning a good salary and re-investing / donating to build trees, renewables or serve any of the UNDP goals that are helping society. In fact that is p
