programming.
 

Poor choice.  You would have immediately stopped having fun
if you had been hired.  The kinds of shit programming that occurs
in most commercial businesses would make any intelligent person
cringe.  It's all bullshit from start to finish, especially in
the web arena.

That's why I quit and I am extremely glad that I did.

For me, the only exception would be HPC, but that usually requires
a PhD in computational physics, and that's something which I did
not have (close but no cigar).

So congratulate yourself on your choice.  The commercial programming
environment is pure shit and with the AI bubble it will get even
worse.
