This was a great read, Dan. I too want to experiment with teaching design some day (ideally in my home country of Pakistan), so I'm eager to hear about your experience.

This really struck home: "If you haven’t already, you too will find yourself where the straightforward path will be lost." Congrats on getting out of the Bay Area tech-job world. It sounds like you're creating a new path of your own design.

As someone who barely has started in the industry and is full of optimism, this was an incredible read. I'm excited to follow your journey.

Really enjoyed reading this and looking forward to reading more Dan! Teaching (design) is my retirement plan too!
