a few years back a switch careers, from the "doing whatever" track to software development. last june i finished my contract with the bootcamp company and looked for a job on my own. so in octoboer I started working in a security company, where i develop tools to manage cloud security.
it's alright, money is good. people are nice.
personal life is still a mess.
edit:
as for the future of the forum, maybe facebook will crush and zuckerberg will be thrown in jail, and the internet will revert back to the early 2000's. but probably not.
