Kind of a true story with me. I had enough savings to quit my job in 2021 and take a couple months off before becoming a contractor. Albeit a contractor back at the same company I just quit, doing the work I actually wanted to do.

i actually did said to my previous company's ceo that i wanted to work on bitcoin and nostr so didn't want to stay there doing web development. he told me openai has created something called q* and that it will break all encryption so he has sold all his bitcoin and ethereum and that i shouldn't spend too much time on "crypto" either. that was in october last year
