Developing Spyware Adware Removal Software Almost Ruined Him
I used to live next door to this guy that always seemed stressed out. He was a computer programmer, and his job was to develop spyware adware removal tools. The problem, as he explained it to me once over a bottle of twelve year old scotch, was that as soon as he finishes a project, he has to start all over again. The anti virus market is extremely high paced, because as soon as you beat on kind of virus, somebody creates another one, so you need to develop a whole new defense. He felt like he could never rest. Luckily, he put all his money into the company stock, and was able to retire when he was 33 years old.
