New job update. Oof and impostor syndrome size is large when you go from knowing everything (because you invented most of it) to knowing nothing. Whoda thunk it? The temptation to run back to the Comfort Zone is correspondingly large :D

I still don't have a workable laptop either. However, I'm told that one should arrive tomorrow, at home, when I'm in the office.

@nivrig I always found the first week to be incredibly tough. Usually involving crying in the bathroom stall.

@mo @nivrig I feel you. Am 9 months into a new language, new frameworks, new cloud, new code and still am not sure if I'm a good fit or an imposter

@sldrant @nivrig been in this career for 22 years and still feel those things 🙂

@nivrig @sldrant my plan is to pay off the mortgage, get a nest egg for putting the kids through uni, and then quit this game. I don’t want to stop working, but I think I want something that gets me outdoors a bit more. Ideal is postie!

@mo @sldrant I’m a ways off be able to do that, but it’s a nice idea. I’d be making video games :)

@nivrig @sldrant I’d still like to get outside more, but if I could make a passable income at building synth components, I’d be pretty happy!
