I quit the software industry and all of its stupidity. After trying to change culture I decided that maybe it was me that didn't fit the ridiculous notion that software companies are today. We will see how my next endeavor goes but at least it doesn't have 'burn down charts' and MVPs.

What's your next endeavor? I'm not looking to move away, but I'd have no clue of what to do besides "computers".

The company I joined makes packaging machines. So there is some "software" development for PLCs and robots but it's nothing like the modern software industry. Plus feature creep costs the customer millions, so it is a pretty fixed deliverable.
