I’m 38 and working as a developer at a well-known investment bank. I’ve been thinking of running my own specialty coffee shop. Been working as a developer for my whole life (front-end primarily). The day to day work is okay, and the problems are challenging. Definitely not working on mundane CRUD apps, but still it isn’t as fun as it used to be in the past. I started with programming because I found it rewarding to build things, to master the art. But programming today has switched from being a “master of tools” to “master of change”.
