I found that no matter where I went it either turned into a dead end or a boiler room. I'm retired now. But there is a lot of truth to this.
I found that a lot of issues I had trying to launch was that I didn't know how to speak to the audience.
I initially got into devwork because everyone just wanted to build cool stuff. Now it's a huge gimmicky slowburn to sell coding challenges to corporations and fund more empowerment non-profits.
Past that, theres no real cool projects. Even after doing the 60 hour review stints and cramming to be prepared to expected to know floor to ceiling something people make whole careers out of without hesitation and getting the job, it always turned out to be just another copypasta grind.
At the end of the day I'd rather have less money to keep doing something fulfilling than to make that dosh and realize how miserable I am.
