Today, I Had this wild idea of doing a career 360 into cancer research after earning enough (money and suffering) to leave programming in some years. Can't tell how feasible that'll be, seeing as I have no degree in the field. But it's pretty surprising that none of the bright minds throughout history have given it their best shot without hacking it for good

Tinfoil thought: Cancer treatment is very lucrative in several ways. A cure wouldn’t be.

@Root the carnage is too great a casualty for relevant authorities to have kept a cure in hiding all these years

You're doing the right thing. A trans twink like me can code, but I can never do something meaningful for the medical research, the most noble and important field ever.

180 might get you in the right direction. 360 won't really change your course 🙈

@ScriptCoded that depends on if you do the 180 or 360 in place or if there is some movement involved also :)

Sure on a flat plane you end up at the same spot, just different directions but on a sphere you an get back to the start in just 3 90 degree turns if you travel enough in between, and there are geometries where you need 5 90 degree turns to get back, so you need to keep an open mind to see all options :D

@Voxera haha true! I was thinking even more constrained. One axis, on the spot ;)
