There's no point at which turning your brain off will work

    Maybe, but the parts of my brain I'm still using are a lot easier to use.

    I was dreaming to be promoted to a cushy management role where I could talk bs for a living.

    I managed to attain 'hands-on team lead' and later an ill-fated 'bootstrapped cryptocurrency CTO' role... Nobody wanted to pay me to talk as a career. Now they do!

    So I'm very happy about that.

    I feel contempt for all the people who had it easy and 'chose' to be engineers voluntarily.
