OT: since computer stuff is a gong show, I am strongly considering going back to school for massage therapy.

I’ve heard worse ideas. It’s funny; I would have expected the people who were in tech because it looked like the best bet for a relatively stable in-demand career would have been the ones who were crap at it relative to the folks doing it purely for love of the game. But it turns out that having something else going on is closely linked to touching grass in ways that make you harder to lure into the cult.
