    “While I agree perseverance is important, it’s even more important to find that line between pushing yourself for a good career, and pushing yourself for something that may no longer make sense. It’s not always easy to let go of something that you’ve already invested time and energy into, but sometimes its the best way forward.”

    This is actually how I feel about WebDev now. It doesn’t seem worth it to start now with the future so uncertain and with all these “no Jr dev” hiring practices I’ve been reading about, plus my stupid fucking brain can’t find any interest in the work at all… I swear my stupid fucking brain is only interested in things you can’t make money with…

      Yeah I have those days too. I have about 5 years’ experience, but after thousands of applications, I’m only getting a few replies.

      Yeah I hear ya. I have lots of interests that are almost guaranteed not to make money.
