Comment on Ask HN: How and why did you leave web development?

Comments

That's an interesting PS, and I wonder if it's actually related to something that is getting in your way that you aren't seeing? (Though I feel both of those!)

But also I think (a) we're in something of a tech downturn at this moment and (b) 'coding' and some parts of dev have become insecure blue-ish collar jobs.

Perhaps it is. Never looked at it that way. I'd love to build my family a chair but will they accept the gift knowing that because I chose wood as my canvas, it will likely be 10k+ microns off on each leg?

I think the downturn observation is correct.
