> Anyone else feeling utterly lost and disillusioned by the tech industry in 2022?

Yeah, my interest in computers and computing is nearly dead. There’s just nothing “hot” and “new” I see that really interests me. Perhaps this is because with experience, computing have mostly lost that magical appeal that led me to strive to figure out “how does this work”.

Every now and then it’s revived, but it never lasts so to the inaccessibility of the things that interest me or because it’s ultimately useless.

I’ll hopefully be leaving the industry in not too long. The money is very nice, but I’m not FAANG, so it’s not quite enough to keep me entrapped.

Also, not that this hasn’t been the case for a while, but I realized programming as a profession is almost nothing like what drew me into it originally.
