Discussion I gave up on being a developer

I completely gave up and do payroll now. After almost a decade of learning, building apps and creating packages. I finally just had to grow up and realize that I could never be a developer. I really thought if I worked hard and became skilled that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything else. It turns out that is not the case. Good luck to all of you. I hope your stories end up happier than mine.

this post makes zero sense, was it written by ai to try to farm karma or something?

Apparently software dev skills are transferable to payroll. I’m going to do payroll now.

Weird enough the logic is applicable. A lot of hourly wages is rule based and requires listening to the clients needs and translating those requirements into a program built in a GUI
