I QUIT My Software Engineer Job | Why and What's Next

After years of thinking about it, I finally did it. I gave notice a couple of weeks ago that I'm quitting my software engineering job.

I'm stepping out of the traditional employment path and into the land of self-employment. I'm largely not sure what's next, but here I talk about why I decided to do this and what my strategy will be.
