Programming Sucks and Why I Quit (2014)

I have no idea how the middle section of this post is relevant to the rest of it. It just seems like the author needed to flesh out another rant or justify a choice no one questioned them on and decided to find any reason to diss the web. An error in the W3 validator is not really an 'error', especially considering the type of errors that are included in those 600 odd (Most of them are about missing spaces).

EDIT: Just seen the date on the article, likely the hundreds and hundreds of errors at the time are gone now, seeing as there's only like 50 showing now

Nothing to see here. Someone ranting about how there's errors in web-pages. Not really sure the point.

First world problems :)

I'm grateful for the opportunity to work from home, support my family comfortably, be in a field with lots of employment opportunities to fall back on, and be constantly learning new stuff.

Sorry it didn't work out for you, but it sounds like you found other interests to occupy you and (hopefully) support you, e.g. fantasy/scifi writing.
