@collinsworth Been there, done that, but since I don't have FAANG or whatever in my C.V., people don't believe me.

I'll keep doing such things in the shadows I guess, like I have, for decades?

Might be nice to get paid half a million dollar salary.

Me *best* paid job was $130,000/year but with 24x7 on call, which if you do the math is like $15/hour, which is less than minimum wage in San Francisco right now.

And did I ever get paged 24x7. Even when on "pager rotation" which sucked, because it meant my coworkers were either too incompetent, or actively malicious and preferred that they didn't answer calls so they would get escalated to me for resolution, rather than let me have anything approaching a reasonable sleep schedule.

I'm still burnt out and still contend with insomnia.

But, most (all?) of my past employers are still up and online and chugging along merrily.

Much to my chagrin, sometimes I even email my old coworkers to let them know about vulnerabilities in what they are running if I see a CVE or whatnot that may impact them, and (this is the bad part) they often write me back thanking me, but even YEARS later, I can see they still haven't patched. ;-/
