#writing #programming
All right, nerds...
How many of you finally gave up on writing software for a living and went into writing?
I'm asking because I'm thinking about refocusing my efforts and... I... I can't _invest_ myself into software right now. The... The space for ethical, engineered software (as opposed to 'just fucking get it done now!') seems _really_ small.
Also, if I should be looking for other hashtags or folks to follow for this discussion feel free to point the way! Thanks!
