My plan is to just continue being a good little coder for just a few more years and then retire in some cheap house somewhere with my partner and try to live as cheaply as possible
me_irl except not just a few because my job won’t pay me more than a starting wage (and my raise last year was worse than inflation, so a real terms pay cut) and I was lucky to get this job anyway and haven’t been able to get another.
And I work (as a programmer as well) not at a tech giant but at an older and probably more evil institution.
Damn was it that obvious? Thankfully I’m still working from home and I can put in as little effort as possible. And at least I don’t work with systems that directly screw people over. I don’t even work with anything near the money.
