I’ve been in the software industry for ~10 years. I no longer feel exciting for anything including the latest ChatGPT. I’ve already been through these phases: engineering principle for all things -> okay, helping customers is the actual business value, so code is just a tool -> obsessed with [solution,problem] -> well, it’s actually mostly about marketing and sale, problems don’t actually discover good solutions, mediocre solutions find their way to the problems. Now I see tech is as useful as taking a shower every morning. I no longer feel anything in any role in tech industry. No, I don’t think I’m depressed. I eat healthy food, exercise and see mountain and river every morning. My mom loves me. I’m figuring out what’s the best mental model to survive (or feel) anything in tech. So you may suggest something outside of tech, I’m already pretty good at many things. But this profession just doesn’t feel (or feel at all) right.
