I need to start pushing patronage stuff but I can more or less live without working for big corps.
I think you can achieve that too, and it must be easier for you because you are a much better programmer than I am.
My job is kinda different to what you propose there but we can consider it similar enough.
If you need some help just ping me.

Since I left the corporate shit I feel much better, I improved a lot at my job and I feel much more comfortable with myself.
That's good because if I finally starve I can go back to corps with a better CV. I won't do it, but knowing you are not wasting your time is good to control the anxiety and stay patient.
