Earning well enough to look forward to a life of living in an apartment I don't own until I die but not enough to buy my own house. Sad thing is that I'm probably in the top 10% of earners in my job in my country. And yet I'm not doing anything engaging. Nothing I'm doing actually is essential to the world. The world could do without the things I'm forced to make.
I feel stuck and the only thing that helps with that feeling is writing opensource stuff. Nobody I know of actually uses my stuff, so maybe it's as useless as my job, but at least it's out in the open and could potentially inspire somebody else.
The meme of IT staff becoming handymen or farmers might be me soon.
