I am slowly coming to understanding that a job where I am an employee will never give me satisfaction. Instead I focus on my family, hobbies and my own side projects hoping that one of them will male enough at some point so I do not have to work fulltime anymore. I am also gonna try to apply for university and finish my Masters to see if I can get job in something else than I do now.
I am just about to do my PPL license next year. Mainly just for fun tho. No intention to replace commercial flying with this.
After I decided to kill my startup that was not going anywhere I took a year break from startups and just spent time with my gf, friends and hobbies. I have got myself into fpv drones and planes as I find flying extremely relaxing. Now I am back at trying to build some of my ideas.
I do have a full-time as mobile dev job that is not too demanding so I have still time for my own projects.
I have been talking with few companies about switching job but the decided to drop all of them as I would have to work much more and be some kind of mobile tech lead for barely any difference in money. Now I am living by in a company where I do my work in few hours and got a lot of free time.
Besides that I have made a RC plane with fpv system on it and been just flying around. Find that very therapeutic and good escape from reality.
Honestly I am only 27 and been working full time as a developer for little over 5 years but I am having a hard time thinking that I have to do this for next 40 years until I retire, feeling a bit of burn out already.
I am now thinking about going to UNI again to do my master degree and maybe go away from mobile development and work on something meaningful.
Way to go! Very inspiring. Website looks like a good start
I was on my severance package from mid January until end of may 2021 and I was just working on my apps and doing my hobbies and it was one of the best times I had. Now that I got another job that pays pretty well compared to what I had before or even similar jobs to where I live I feel like meh and I am trying to figure out how to go to the work on my own stuff/hobbies asap.
could you post it again? the pastebin page got deleted
Its sad but junior devs in easter Europe do not get more than 1000€/month from my experience.
Not true, my friend(who is not a danish citizen) bought a flat in copenhagen and got 5% downpayment
My experience is that caffeine helps me against migraine. Do you take caffeine from some other source ?
Keto diet helped me a lot with my migraines. As soon as i started to eat more carbs again the frequency of my migraines increased. Also wine is a big trigger for me. Would be nice to try this.
Nice article David. I wish i was this exited about my job.

Email:basty191120 {@} gmail{@}comI have tried to build a language learning app called Talking Ninja, heavily based on voice. I started with danish as thats where I live and its hard fro me to learn new language without being able to speak to someone/something. It was not the best choice of language to start and also the complexity of the voice tech behind it grew beyond my one man army skills at the time. Maybe one day I will try again.
