I'm 35, Web Dev since 2009, work from home (2 hours away from work) since 2020, and my company just decided that they want everyone back at the office immediately, or quit.
So I quat. And I decided I'll never be an employee ever again.
I'm gonna make a living out of my passions: write a book, create video games, adopt pets, photo, video, and if I run out of money I can still do Web Dev as freelance.
Been coding for ~20 years and I still see coding as an "end" (ie. an interesting goal) even when I'm making apps or games where the code is invisible to the end user
