As New Zealand Courts Tech Talent, Isolation Becomes a Draw

It's not the time off, but rather, how you fill that time off that I am arguing is career stunting. If you have to work on uninteresting, non-career aiding work for a few months to make ends meet, you aren't likely to be working on interesting projects during that time.

e: changed killing to stunting, because I do believe that it is recoverable.

I don't think it's that dire, but I guess interviewing afterwards could be trickier. If you were still a good programmer after three months, I think you'd be just fine. I just took six months off to travel the world, I'm not worried.
