Work on projects that I think are important instead of just profitable.
Could you answer more vaguely please?
Yes
I tried to be accurate instead of specific.
If I didn't have to work anymore, I'd have more time to explore potential things to work on, so whatever project I'd pick right now would probably not be my main focus after 3 months of settling into my new life.
From where I am right now, I think it would be something to do with language-level features for distributed computing (but not that web3 nonsense). There's a lot of potential to weaken the monopoly power of cloud providers by working on something like that, which is why it's an under-explored area.
But I'd need more people to work with, and some specific use cases to go after. So I would expect the effort to change a lot by the time I actually found the right group of people to work with.
Lets do this! ๐
Hell yeah, I would not be helping puff up a doomed tech product for venture selloff if I was chasing actual utility.
