What's your dream job?

Hi Abdelhak,

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that you have been, and still are, my idol. Your story motivated me to leave my parents and my country too to follow my dreams, I’ve always looked up to you, and I can't thank you enough for the inspiration you’ve given me. You’ve had such a huge impact on my life, and I’m forever grateful.

Wishing you continued success, and thank you again for everything.

Why would I aspire to have a dream job? My dream job is to be able to pursue whimsies or passions like woodworking or robotics or stargazing or infinite coding side projects without having to worry about financial security for me and my parents.

Software Engineer but in another country.

It could Australia, New Zealand, Finland or other places. I would like to relocate due to many reason I cannot state here to prevent controversial debate (They're not related to programming.). I would love to work with functional programming languages such as Haskell, Clojure or Racket. Any other languages are fine.

Back in a day I was fascinated by the gamedev. Truth is I still am, but wouldn't dare to step my foot in that industry (there are way too many things wrong with it).

On more realistic note - it should be a product company I'd believe in, have direct communication channel with the end users, minimal zoom/in-person meetings, small team of likeminded people and trust from the leadership to let us do what we think is right, without thinking about the budgets, resources, politics, reporting, meetings and other counter-productive BS so ingrained in our industry.

Business process improvement and automation. My favorite projects are where I get to sit down with a team and really dig into their process and see where we can add a bit of technology to make it flow better. I really enjoy being able to help them make real improvements, not just adding another shiny new tool that doesn't actually make things better.

I want to be a superhero, I want to work for the world's best online education platform that is free and accessible for everyone. I want the children to have all the opportunities only the rich has, regardless where they are born in the world. I hope this world will come before I die.

Any job where I can be lazy. I'm a web engineer but also a creative person. I can find solutions to problems that my colleagues cannot but I absolutely hate grinding and doing repetitive and boring work.

TBH, no idea if such a job exists. If it does, please, let me know.

At the start of the pandemic I took a leap to do what I thought I always wanted and became an independent consultant.

I'm more satisfied now than I have ever been and I still see how much more growth there is ahead of me.
