This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Exactly the same for me. I already had leading roles in my last few jobs, but this year I switched to a job without any coding. I am just burnt out. I have seen too many languages, paradigms and frameworks over the years. I still write code and pick up new languages. But only for me. I can't handle dealing with code every day anymore. I am working at a co-op now, so there's no insane drive to make billionaires happy. And I really hope I can stay there until retirement.
I feel like this about Rust, I'm sure it's absolutely great but I really just don't care about it. If I ignore it long enough I'm hoping that either will move over to yet another language or AI will literally just write everything for me.
I ignored Rust for a long time, but just recently I finally felt like giving it a try. I am rewriting a small project I built in Go in Rust, just to learn about it. If I don't feel like working on it for a few weeks, so be it.
