Powerful - "People will steal your time.

But more importantly, you yourself will steal your time. We spend our days in jobs that lead us nowhere closer to the dreams we may or not be hiding from ourselves."

Sean, love the story. Interesting parallel as I too was a law clerk at a top law firm headed to law school -but- decided I didn't want to work the crazy hours, get fat, divorced and grumpy like most of the partners I observed - Except your story ends up with you being a successful developer while I wonder if it's too late for 55 year old me to do what I truly love. I chased the tech money and while it worked (for a while), without a purpose you believe in, it's hollow. Thanks for sharing your story as it's been super inspirational and makes me feel, despite a tangled path, I too might end up in a place that is truly gratifying.
