    I got tired of my job that involved 95% meetings and 5% coding so I quit in August 2022 and decided to figure out what's next. But, since I'd spent a few years not doing as much coding as I'd have liked, I felt rusty. I probably could've gotten a decent job if I'd tried (I have lots of years of experience) but I didn't have confidence and had lost the joy of it.

    So, while I tried to figure out what to do, I worked on my hobby NES emulator for Apple platforms, Blackbox[1]. It's written in Swift and uses SwiftUI.

    When a potential contracting role (100% SwiftUI) dropped in my lap, I had the confidence and skills to go for it. It's been great (my meeting-to-coding ratio has inverted!) and they're wanting me to extend my contract for another 12 months. I know the project helped make them feel confidence in my capabilities, but I think it's possible that I'd have gotten the gig in the first place. But, I would've struggled, and I probably wouldn't have even gone for it in the first place because I'd have known that I'd have struggled.
