I am currently at the stage from where I admire the software world from
outside, trying to be competent one day at a time. The author is a
badass for landing tailscale!

Sad that the blog posts stopped after getting employed. I was hoping
for some interesting insights after five years of doing it
professionally.

She still posts to her Mastodon and LinkedIn, but I guess blogging is
completely dead. For what it's worth, she quit her job at Edera 2
weeks ago.

Doing it professionally destroyed all the magic for me. Everything is
slop, customer appointments are exhausting af, nobody is able to
precisely communicate their needs and im supposed to be the people
pleaser saying "sure can do" to every lunatic idea some person with
enough money has. If you want to take responsibility and actually
build a valuable product your only option is open source software as
companies, no matter the size, do not care about the nuances a
feature might have as long as its shippable. Big tech has embarked
into enshittification for over two decades now. Imagine being paid
for making a product worse. Fuck this industry, money is the only
driver for me. Once that's gone, which surely will happen with
companies trying to replace devs with AI, I'll hopefully find a way
to keep my income stable in a different profession that is actually
enjoyable.
