I'm hoping to avoid this because my next job will be purely about the money. I'm just looking for a way to pay my bills and pay for my hobbies. I'm not looking at work as my life's passion. I don't dream of labor. I dream of Star Trek.

Anyone else get into this as a hobby and don’t find it fun anymore?

That's why I have hobbies besides computers. LEGO is a huge one.

I F*cking love my job.

HR does attract a certain kind of asshole, though. The kind that wear their heartlessness on their sleeve.

One day you might look back on this as a blessing. Yes, I know that saying is trite, but it's also true in some cases. I hope it is in yours.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S22+ and am not planning on upgrading anytime soon. I got it mainly for the camera. I even bought a fluorescent chartreuse case for it. 😁 I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm usually a pretty empathic guy, probably to a fault. But when it comes to this? Nope. Not doing it. It would probably be some Apple product anyway. I have not had an Apple product since 2016.

Maybe I'm just a luddite, but I detest "AI". Sure, it's got it's legit applications, but MBAs want to shove it in anything they can.

I don't think I could ever be a manager or project lead. Got too much wrong with my brain for that. Plus, I want to actually DO stuff. Not delegate stuff and spend all my working hours in meetings.

I've never really "tinkered" much beyond building PCs. I mainly use my PC for gaming and creative hobbies. I'm not going to let any job kill that joy. It's a paycheck, nothing more.

> "expected us to be giving him the best years of our lives" Nah. Fuck that. The company might be his baby, but it's not mine. I will not have my live revolve around work. Work is a paycheck and nothing more. It's not part of my identity nor is it a source of emotional fulfillment. I don't see tech and IT as a "calling". I see it as a way to pay my bills and pay for my toys. I will not let a job intrude on my personal life.
