I've begun to view the entire tech industry as downright silly, and I'm
looking to exit it as soon as possible.

I was in a corporate boardroom the other day listening to some guys drone on
in front of a whiteboard about their architecture and throwing around
various acronyms and such. I burst out laughing because it seemed like they
were doing some kind of elaborate IT mating dance with each other.

I'm still interested in computing, but it's become totally unfulfilling for
me as a career. I'll have to find some other way to make gobs of money.
