I would like to thank all contributors and admins of this fantastic place to share ideas and how-tos. You helped me a lot of times, hopefully I helped you too.
Recently I decided to abbandon my IT admin position, in which I have been for more than 10 years.
I do not find the satisfaction in managing devices anymore. When I started on this position, all was predictable and solid. I feel lost in todays ever-changing environment in the sake of security. I feel I cant rely on basics anymore.
Its harder for me to keep in touch. My position became heavily focused on troubleshooting after some unseen consequence of the update. I am forced into reinstalling old functional applications just because the backwards compatibility is not guaranteed and the old one is not cosidered as safe (but new applications need to be patched, because still new vulnerabilities are doscovered every month, do you see the infinite loop here?). Also I think most OS changes are made, becasue Microsft wants to monetize more things and push all people into subscriptions.
This betatesting amongst people should be disciplined at court. It has became very unstable and there are milions of unfuctional devices woldwide every month. I know, lot of devices are safe because of those patches, but the way we are treated right now does not fit me.
Im not interested in job, that has no obvious goal. I do not like to do things just to do something. Like upgrading OS every two years, because Microsoft said that. By changing the OS, all other dependcies have impact on other software. This means it creates another hours of work, just to make things work.
Its hard to find somebody to participate on these tasks, because noone would like to pay twice the money for the same position. There is obvious lack of people at IT admin positions.
So I decided to work on my own, to accept single short term contracts with obvoius goals.
I will try to contribute sometimes here. But seriously, Im looking forward to ignore patch tuesday madness 
This is purely my own opinion and it may not consent with the Askwoody community opinion.
Still thank you all for this wonderfull forum, I really admire your work here.
