After a 25 year software dev career I quit my toxic job 18 months ago and haven't worked since. I haven't even tried looking for a job. I've become too disgusted with and mismatched with the industry.
My savings won't take me to social security age but I'm damn tempted to live only another ten years on my own terms rather than work for 20 more and live for 15 more after that in failing health.
I am yet to quit / still grinding it out, but this is kind of me, the industry is not really what I signed up for, or even really recognizable. I have no interest in 90% of the jobs out there, and all the AI, agile, etc. nonsense. Very possible that this is my last job in this area, for better or worse.
