After many years, I think I know the answer: I’ve never wanted that. Yeah, I might have wanted the financial and job security, but the truth is I *hate* Big Tech. I hate what they’ve done to the field I loved for so long. I hate how solid planning, engineering, and pride in one’s work has been supplanted by Agile™️ methodology and quick wins. I hate the constant short-term profit chasing. Plus, the aforementioned financial and job security isn’t even there anymore!
