So I was wondering, what is you guys' 'goal' in the long run? What do you really want to be able to do or what do you really want to achieve in 5 to 10 years? Are you working primarily for an income or are there more prominent reasons for doing what you do?

I'm in my last years of university and have a job at a software development company, not because I need the money but because of all the amazing technologies I come in touch with and the amazing things I learn, mostly about servers and devops tools.

I currently have 2 goals in mind: Creating an .io game together with a frontend developer and setting up a kubernetes cluster and using it. I personally consider kubernetes an end-game thing when it comes to running apps and am experimenting with it on three servers that I got from school.

So I was wondering, what ahout you? 😀

    Little extreme but my main goal is to learn everything from lowest level to the highest(minus frontend stuff, I find it frustrating to deal with).

    My goal is to get to a point in my career where I'm in more of a leadership and mentoring position and writing less code myself. Coding for a living gets extremely draining after a while.

    Honestly, I love my job absolutely. Love what I do, love my team.. but I am also in a really bad place at the moment, despite a fantastic social circle. No idea why I do things, lack any kind of goal, it all just blends.

    There are projects I could tend to, but right now I feel like I am just cruising towards a wall.

    This question was asked on my first job application, twenty years ago. Back then, my answer was simple, "To be the CTO of a small tech company."

    Twenty years later, I'm not the CTO of a small tech company, nor is that the end goal these days.

    In 5-10 years, I want to be in an environment where I can empower others and do my best work. When you're young, you think being CTO is the position that let's you do that, but it's not. The best teams and organizations are lead from the bottom up. The purpose of a good CTO is not to empower their employees but instead to support and lift them up. By being on a team where I can do my best work, it gives me the ability to flip the table and empower my CTO/leadership instead.

    I want to learn and contribute to an open source library. Branching from there to several related open source projects learning the best things, and then finally writing my own.

    @Nanos Aside from taking the route of convincing people in power to even at least do a feasibility study on my idea, I also thought about starting small, like volunteering to develop software applications that help solve small or repetitive task of our village's local government unit (LGU), to building a centralized system that streamlines all information and operations of various LGU functions from different villages. All of that is in hopes that the impact I make will one day convince people into realizing my vision.

    I want to advance society, serve history and maybe become independent in enterpreneurial terms.
    So far the society thing worked well the last 12 years. But has been stopped by brutal polulism and deep party politics.
    Society is gonna choke on this the next 15 years.
    Then it's up to learning even more and becoming independent.
    Gogogo!
