>I've"seen behind the curtain" of tech and thoroughly reject it. Perhaps my decades in software have just made me bitter and tired.

That is exactly how i feel.

I left tech professionally. I do still tinker, write code, and build stuff, though.

I bought a farm and also started a construction company during covid. Most enjoyable. I have oodles of time for my hobbies (which have multiplied) and i regularly undertake big projects that stretch my abilities and fuels my personal growth. Both in construction and on the farm.

I too have left professional software. Still code to do my own data analysis and stuff, but I feel the same as you. New challenges, more time for the kids and hobbies and less stress.

What do you do professionally, now? If you don't mind me asking.
