Are you pivoting away from Software development?

Are you doing anything to pivot away from SD or are you sticking too it?

For me - i am going hybrid. Using SD for my business as an entrepreneur.

15+ years in the industry and I don't plan on pivoting away. I've built a successful career out of this and I don't see the need to do something different. Honestly, I love this stuff (and it wasn't always like that for me).

However, I do plan to do what you're doing: building a business. I've played with different ideas and created MVPs to get initial feedback on them. So far, nothing has struck a cord, so I am just keeping on with my day job and advancing in that while tinkering with B2B ideas on the side until something sticks.

I'm curious, though, why do you ask that question? Do you believe the influencer hype about how programming won't exist in 5 years? Or do you think the market is getting saturated with developers and the pay will go down? Or maybe getting burnt out?
