Since you asked: I'm 40+ with decades of experience in tech.
In the age of AI I feel the possibilities in terms of what software products I could build have expanded enormously. So lately I've been thinking about things I want to create with the help of AI and I am genuinely inspired.
I posted a long and very moving story the other day about a software developer who was getting blind on an eye in six hours. https://elye-project.medium.com/i-became-blind-within-6-hour...
It made me think about how much time we spend in front of screens these days and that eyesight can't be taken for granted.
This article was a nice contrast describing the possibilities to do work as a blind developer.
