Hi Adam.. great post! I started my dev.to journey since June and as of now have around 700 followers 1000+ reactions and 7k+ views and I have to agree on a lot of things that you've pointed out. One of the posts that I had written regarding hiring went crazy viral. That one was a twitter discussion turned into a post and it took me one hour to pen down my thoughts because so much was already discussed and I knew exactly what I wanted to counter it with. It was something I needn't have to think twice and came right from the heart.
I've also been coding since early 2000s and I feel that I'm repeating so many things in my job irrespective of the job switch I do. Currently, I'm on a sabbatical and ventured into blog writing because I could finally find the time to do so. I've also setup my blog on hashnode since it nicely links your post to your subdomain - blog.skay.dev
I enjoy your posts and more importantly can relate to so many rants you have and I would attribute to the length of career we've spent in the industry. At the moment, I'm trying to find some fire in my belly to wake up with a sense of purpose and commitment. This COVID situation has only made it that much more harder. Anyways, I could go on and on cribbing, but I shouldn't highjack your comment section for that :-) thanks once again and keep the long posts coming!!!

Absolutely. I have certain diatribes that I've now delivered at, probably, 10 different jobs. But I just got tired of performing those rants over and over - and now I just say, "You should check out this thing I wrote..."

Interesting. I'll have to check that out.

You're not alone in that, I can assure you. The pandemic is as much a psychological drain as a physical threat.
thanks once again and keep the long posts coming!!!
I truly appreciate the feedback!
