what's the career path for someone who went into tech because it was a thing they've always enjoyed and now it paid the bills too - but now they don't enjoy it anymore? is it still to open a bar to serve a clientele of other burned out tech workers?

@q3k Perhaps get into Consciously Prosocial Tech? Dig up the old People's Computer Company materials, and try to revitalise the old principles with the new tools that have been developed in the half a century since then?

@q3k considering how much of a shithead the guy who famously opened a bar to do this is today, i'm not sure that's an improvement for anybody other than you

@q3k Running a bar (pub?) is very hard work. I've learned a lot about it because of a program I wrote to help running them. Edge cases upon edge cases. And in the morning you have to clean up after the customers who wrecked the place. But I know a lawyer who works behind the bar once a week. For fun. This looks like a good work-life balance.

@Szescstopni Btw, some people can find it easier to clean up after the unruly customers in the evenings rather than mornings.

@whitequark @q3k + 1 for not targeting tech workers as a demographic, interacting with the whole population and/or all neurodivergent people brings way more humanly speaking as an interaction

@Szescstopni Not advice, just a reminder that "DSPD" is a thing. People genuinely have different preferred diurnal activity maximums.

@q3k if you also offer some accomodations you are sure to be visited mostly by former colleagues

@q3k Very good question, I have yet to find the answer
The follow up question is whether it is tech in general or just the management decisions of certain companies.

@jn@boopsnoot.de @q3k@hackerspace.pl do you think they'd hire me without knowing the language? maybe there's still hope for me in this country
