I actually set a reminder for Firefox 57 in my calendar...

Terribly interested in this as well, and commenting to follow the conversation.

For me, it snuck up on me in my thirties. I lucked into school for design, and.... found my home. Never had a thing where I "identified" as the job.

How do I know? Hard to say... it just feels incredibly clear. It feels right like no other work ever has. It's sorta the old canard about "loving what you do."

In other words, I know because I love the work. I lose myself. I can spend whole days working, not drinking, not eating, just working. Hard to ignore.

I have a somewhat darker view: I expect we will see an increase in more flexible, more robust equipment as climate stresses increase... At least the emergence of that sort of a market. I bet a lot of people, after those hurricanes, would be interested in phones that still work in emergencies.
