I’d argue it’s a bad career path overall. You will get laid off working as a dev, it’s just how it works, and if you haven’t managed a 10+ headcount by your mid 30’s you will find yourself facing ever escalating ageism 35 on as an old man dev. It’s not a field that generally professionally rewards experience beyond 5-ish years.
Pour one out for random regional parties with anachronistic ballot access who put their third party faith in that… idk what to even call RFK Jr… a quixotic bon vivant, who takes roadkill to steak houses? A recovered addict who won’t admit his habit fucked his voice up and not a flu vaccine? Rich kid is perhaps most apt.
If you move to the I-95 corridor NY or north you don’t need to deal with this. All the classic rock stations play Dirty Deeds and 3 other AC/DC songs and Teenage Wasteland on a loop, and have for 20+ years.

I rocked a Packard Bell PII, frankensteining boards sans case with RedHat Linux 1996-2004-ish, and it rendered of that gen C++ and Java openGPL SO much faster than lab boxes the university paid 5 figures for from SGI and Solaris.
Edit: I miss VTWM SO MUCH… I want an infinitely self-scriptable window manager again 😭
