Ask HN: Developers who switched careers, what are you doing now?
Walked away from 20 years of software development last year.  I've been day and swing trading stocks for last 2 years.  I'm now trading full time and doing great.  I don't miss the daily stand-ups, scrum meetings, planning meetings, "quick chats", one-on-ones with management, weekly department meetings, monthly company meetings, and late night critical support calls one bit!
