Hey, just wanted to say you're not alone in this.

I have pretty similar feelings to what you are going through.

I was so stressed like seven or eight months ago that for two weeks I was constantly sleep deprived. Then I just asked myself "What is the worst that can happen?" The answer helped me relax a bit. I will just move to some small village somewhere, open a shop for anything and get by. Life will go on.

I seriously think software is / was hard. That means people that thrived in it were smart and disciplined.

And which other profession has so much change? My father is a civil engineer. The tools and formulas he uses has not changed in 50 years while I have to pick up whatever hype tech is asked of me. Many people are similar to me. So we are very adaptable in my most honest opinion.

If it comes to _worst of it_, smart and adaptable people is where I would put my bet on being able to find their footing in the new world.
