What is your "what if" plan? What is your "back-up" career? your "lifeline" if software engineering somehow wasn't an option anymore for you?
Maybe one day, you decided you didn't want this lifestyle anymore? That you wanted something different...that you no longer loved creating online as much as you used to, etc. Then what?
Happy coding!

I believe the traditional progression goes: 1) software developer, 2) burn out, 3) woodworking.
Oooo woodworking?
That seems to be the trend with all my retired coworkers. Except for the one who went into blacksmithing.
Youโre hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. ๐
I would become a teacher in, ideally, math and programming. Teaching is something I've loved even since before I found my love for programming, but programming eventually became my career choice. But if I were to ever get tired of the world of software development I have already planned to become a teacher, preferably for high school students. Maybe middle school, but definitely not younger than that.
I love teaching! I've done some sort of teaching since middle school!
life in the jungle ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ด๐ชต๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ชจ๐๐ alone with nothing!
The true digital nomad life? :o
I'd become a Photographer. For consistent income, I'd also be a Barista.
self-made photographer or trained?
A bit of both. I've done coursework and second shooting.
Most of what I've done is classic or copying someone's style. I'm hoping to establish my own style.
Probably Photographer/Digital Artist.
Or I'll just open up a Bar
I love the entrepreneur mindset!
Iโd be a full time dreamer.
what does being a dreamer mean to you?
No plan, there was not option.
No backdoor? LOVE IT
Ahhh learning something new everyday!
I have a side project as a graphic designer, maybe I'll make it a single branch ๐
I'll open ๐ shop.
Love the entrepreneur mindset :D
