You got yours. Now what?
I could have skipped sooner maybe?
Once I had kids though I found I had a higher tolerance for a job getting shittier, a lower tolerance for restarting in a new career. So I put up with a worsening job for them.
I quit the moment my last daughter left for college.
I get it that money coming into the industry made the whole industry suck. Honestly, Apple was a much more fun to place to work at when there was no money to be made there (no more than a paycheck anyway). Others may disagree, but I found its success made it increasingly a shittier place to work. (Others though, as I say, may have enjoyed the wider reach the platform enjoyed with its success.)
I'm not religious, but for this alone you deserve a life of blessings and happiness. The fact that I never ever have to fuck around with Adobe PDF apps to juggle PDFs is one of the load-bearing things keeping me sane in an insane world.
May you enjoy your retirement tinkering in your software garden.
I can’t stand Adobe Reader, and use Preview, all the time.
Oh, that was you? One of the few bits of skeuomorphism I can still find in the OS. I wish we still had more of that.
