They say that you should be seeking a new job to run *towards* something, not *away* from something.

But, the reality is that I don’t really have a thing I want to run “toward” except being able to work without my hair on fire all the time, which is technically what I’m running “from”.

What do? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I say that I don’t have anything really to run toward—other than a better compensation package—because I’m so easy-going when it comes to technology. In my 25+ years, I’ve done a lot of stuff in technology that is completely obsolete. So, I’ve learned not to chase any one thing. It’s served me okay.

I *may* have been better served chasing after the latest fad, before the wave has crested—e.g., crypto, AI—because, in the irrational exuberance of the gold rush, that’s where all the money is made. Hell, I might even be retired by now as a result. But, I’d still be in the same place: dead skills.
