On Unhappy Generation

 

💯 true

Considering my lack of computer science background, I should be really really happy that I have a few gigs that pay me, I work remotely, and my only reasonable monthly bill is data subscription.

However, you just see yourself being like: "This other person that started programming in 2023 got a remote job that pays in dollars. Or the other person got into a FAANG company."

It's a crazy slippery slope. And if you're not aware of when you're doing that comparison, it might make you feel exceedingly terrible about your pace.
