> But for me, it was missing something I didn't know how to name until I found it: the chance to be technical and connected.

I genuinely throught this was impossible for a very long time. In my SWE roles I’ve mostly felt disconnected and isolated.

I resigned from my last dev job and started working in donut and coffee shops. I loved it.

I’m pursuing Support Engineer roles now hoping it will provide the human focus that was missing prior.
