Sorry, name was a poor choice. I did not mean it in a suicidal way, more of a just a play on “hello world” for a quick throwaway name.

> I would suggest maybe trying a different area of software development that is not primarily build crud apps.

Been trying to find one of these that doesn’t require me to be an established domain expert or have expensive higher education.

Funny enough, the other day after having an encounter with a flying cockroach I wondered about using lasers to kill those. I imagined just finding a decent power rating laser diode a consumer can buy, driving it to the max and seeing what it could do.

Unfortunately it seems that any beam focused/powerful enough will end up damaging anything else it hit (in my case: walls, ceiling, carpet, etc.)

Yeah but when the choices are do something you hate for a moderate amount of money or do something you hate for a ton of money, the second option is at least marginally better. Hell at some of those salaries you could probably even retire early.
