Edit: I have found this post and there are many others like this which all make a valid point. The question is at what cost, the current cost of our privacy is crimes not solved or worst solved crimes that can't be brought to justice since the evidence are not applicable. Furthermore we have research which is being held back due to privacy, think of what the medical industry do with the blood samples or DNA of every person on the planet. What I am looking for is an argument which will make it worth it.

This was a serious question, I am not saying we should give our information to anyone but in the face of making the world a safer and better place what kind if personal information don't you want there to be known.

Just for clarification, I am myself not sure where I stand, I just want to be convinced that I should care about my privacy and your argument dosent convince me

Abuse it in what way?

Why should we care about our privacy?

Every body always advocates for privacy but I have yet to found a real answer to why should we actually care so much about our privacy especially if the problem faced is real advancement or creating a society where we are all safer. As an example we have many laws which limit the police and government in the why they can get evidence, many of these laws are in place in order to protect our...

Thanks, I that is exactly what I am wondering, is it just burnout and a good long holiday or a hobby can solve or is it something more ad I need to change my line of work. before starting in the tech sector I thought tech is big, it has money, it must be a constant stream of excitement, that is not the case and I am a person which actively seeks new excitements and needs to have a sense of urgency in life

Thank you, I do that and I expand my field to all things startup related. Up until not long ago, my goal was to climb up the ladder, eventually be the CEO/CTO of a company and then advance from there. now I am not so sure, what says I won't get bored of managing a company after 4 years?

Thank you are absolutely correct, I have worked for 2 startups and I never let my self just do assignments. I always push my self to the limits, try and innovate and find new ways to solve problems. But again, after 4 years in startups (My dream since being a kid) every discussion feels De Ja Vu and every UI/UX problem is more of the same. I am very passionate about my work and I try and position myself in a place where I can actually do work that matters and not just code but again after years of doing this it starts to feel old.

How do you keep the drive after years of development?

Hi all, I have been coding for the last 4 years, about 15 hours a day, 9 in my day job and another six on 2 failed side projects. I am now in a senior position but lately I feel like nothing new is happening and every challenge is the same old one with a different title. I am starting to rethink my path as a developer. Thinking I need to get into new fields of coding I have started coding...
