Things have been pretty good. Stopped being a NEET and got a job. Also stopped drinking, went cold turkey and I recently hit my 1-year mark. Sobriety is great, so is having a normal job and a reason to get out of bed. Been pretty content overall, that's the main reason I'm not on as much.
Decided to get back into coding, so I made a leetcode account, been doing dailies and the weekend contests, already hit the Top 10% in contests, now I'm realizing if I had just focused on that when I got out of the service, I'd have been a senior software engineer when the COVID tech boom hit, and might have been a millionaire by now. Bit late to be trying to get into coding now though, doubt most companies would hire a junior in their mid-30s, especially in the current market.
But, when I was brushing up I did automate some workflows at work, and it made me realize that if I found the right *remote* office/admin job, I could automate most of it, and get to where I've got a lot of free time again.
Updating my resume this weekend, already found a couple jobs that would fit the bill, gonna start applying on the weekends, hoping it pans out.
