Can I ask why you went for TW rather than dev? I ask because I almost used that as a cop-out once because I was overwhelmed by the technical interviews, etc. required for being a dev.

For me it was a way to stay comfy and avoid situations that would force me to grow.

Also, the last 2 years have been rough. Are you getting enough social connection?

Because they're the one that gave me the offer. I don't have any particular preference or disdain for technical writing; it's entirely possible that my next job will be as a developer.

I could stand to get out more, yes.
