alt Hacker NewsI'm too young to be financially secure given my impoverished background, not having parents in my life, being homeless as a teenager, etc. But too old and physically disabled to change course from tech. Nothing to do but keep walking through this tunnel and see where it ends up. It's scary!
same here, and it often keeps me up at night. for a few years i really felt like i had finally managed to get on track towards escaping the poverty i was born into, now i'm not so sure anymore in the long term. the good thing is at least i know i somehow managed to claw my way upwards from rock bottom to a tech job once already, so whatever the future might throw at me i'll probably be able to somehow deal with that too.
