My heart beats for you good man.

It's unfair and unapologetic, but also temporary. Take your moment respite, allow the bitter pill pass.

Take comfort that there are opportunities. Knowledge is power and someone will want to gather yours. 20yrs experience of true programming prowess goes a long way in an age of point-and-click assembly of 'code'.

The zen was not in your office, or on your computer, in those books or hard drives. Please reference Book 9 of the Tao of Programming. And know I mean it in the warmest and most positive light.

There is more to your story.
