yo, coding in my cave again and it hits me—this tech grind? absolute cheat code. 5 years ago i was debugging trash scripts for peanuts, now AI’s writing half my code and recruiters slide into my DMs like i’m some kinda rockstar. cloud, crypto, quantum—pick your poison, they’re all printing jobs (and drama).

salaries? lol, they call it "compensation" like we’re trauma survivors (accurate). remote work? pajamas = new business casual. burnout? oh 100%, but at least the espresso machine’s top-tier.

downside? you’ll age 2x faster and develop a weird hatred for javascript frameworks. worth it? stack overflow says yes
