I’m a full stack engineer now professionally, and work on open source code on the side.
The career path hasn’t been so bad. Applied my understanding of electrons to computer science, and have launched a number of apps and services since.
Currently working on a side project that’s a WordPress alternative built with Next.js and Tailwind :)
