Lemmy World SysOp

Yeah it's hard to gain the high value skillsets these days, and I think it's one of the reason those of us that have been in it for decades are able to do fine now. I got lucky where early on in my career I got in with a company that was small and had enormous growth over a 10 year span.

I'm similar paid to the person in question and am also an independant contractor. I make similar due to my experience level and rather unique combination of skills so I just cut my hours way back and typically work a few hours a day. So burnout is a non issue. I take no work where I'm on call or "first responder" and I make sure it's always written into the contract that way.

It took 25+ years of busting ass to get here, although I have no regrets, and I recognize I am incredibly lucky to have the circumstances play out this way.

Yeah it took a long time for me to finally curate Reddit to something I enjoyed using, I've started increasingly working on my filters and it just gets better and better here.

Like Reddit, I find trying to find communities I'm interested in a little difficult so I'm just defaulting to all and continuing to filter for now. At some point soon I'll be able to just default to subscribed.
