the girl i'm dating is 30 and has been looking for a career change. she works in software development, but she has only been trained on mainframes and wants out of that.

i was a full-stack web developer for 15 years until 2020.

the other day, she said, thoughtfully, that "what you had 3 years ago is everything i want right now..."

i think she's been thinking about why i abandoned it, especially considering the money it made.

some of the answer is that it lacked the human element. i'm a communicator, first and foremost.
