thagerty··on What Is the Point
I know it's easier said than done, but many are choosing to not play the game. And that comes in many forms. Like others have hinted at, you need to find your own level of comfort. I left my comfortable IT job two decades ago, started my own business, and am very happy living below the poverty line serving others. My bank account isn't happy, but my soul sings. The funny thing about it is how people try to help me because I'm not 'successful.'
thagerty··on Ask HN: I hate my job and want to quit webdev
Conventional wisdom says don't jump ship until you figure out what really interests you. Hating something won't translate into the energy needed to be successful in something else. You need to figure out what to run towards, instead of just running away with no direction.
thagerty··on Is Anyone Else Just Done?
Quit that soul-sucking craft two decades ago, and although I think about contracting every now and then for some coin, I haven't regretted the decision. Of course, as a massage therapist during Covid, things are pretty ugly right now.
