Thanks Griff! I had a good one
How are you though?
Thinking about my birthday in what must be (one of) the most difficult period(s) of your life

I'm a mess, but I'm getting there. Just doing the necessary little jobs - though some of them turn into major jobs just to be annoying - and remembering to eat at least twice a day ...

Job security is a myth.
The goal is to find a sequence of jobs you enjoy. Software development is great for that.

I contract. I change roles all the time

You have to also be good at it.

The world is increasingly becoming interdisciplinary. When I was young, engineering and medicine/biology were considered opposites; nowadays they are becoming complementary.
And computer-science/software is an enabler; it is therefore better to be a domain specialist in some engineering/biology field with knowledge of software implementation.
Unless one wants to become a "Theoretical Computer Scientist", if at all such a thing exists.

Quantum computing is pretty theoretical: the theory that there are problems just waitng to be computed.

I haven't seen the inside of an "It department" in years. Security implies "big departments". Like ... (oops).

Right, 'cuz you need the collective knowledge of a lot of people to really be any good at it.
But reality is, security is a cost center, not something that generates revenue. So it's always underfunded and kept to a minimal size.
Ummm, I'm sure I had a point...? Where was I going with that...

I meant "job security". Old boys' networks and the like.

And when exactly wasn't that true?
Excluding specific depressed real estate times of course.
