I was a web developer since the mid-90s. I got out of it a few years ago because the direction web development was going in was so not fun. I still do personal web development because I find it enjoyable, but feel so much relief not to be doing it professionally any more.
I’m still a developer, I just don’t do web development anymore. I now do integration work (take files or data from one system, maybe massage the data and/or reformat it, and send to a different system).

Did you retire or switch industries?
