How would you earn money as a coder if you’re highly prone to burnout triggered by bosses? /u/Round-Cost552 CSCQ protests reddit

How would you earn money as a coder if interactions with perceived authority figures often trigger existential crises for you-ones others might not even notice as issues?

I have worked in 4 companies in 7 years in Germany and I keep being triggered and burn out, with major breaks on sick leave and stuff not generating any income. I heard somewhere that 50% of leadership is toxic, which makes me feel it’s not entirely my fault, but other people make it work. I have done counseling for C-PTSD and stuff, but there is no magic healing. This will stick with me for at least a good while longer.

I don’t see myself making a poker gambling bot or starting a company sustaining me.

I mostly worked backend (python + mostly js), done a bit of DevOps (ansible). Sure, can do a basic landing page with hugo.

So I have this challenge in front of me and am desperate for some good ideas creating income with minimum colleague/client interaction. So, yes! Its more likely I will start pooping rainbows before solving this. But then, wasn’t this the whole advertisement? Code on some beach without these office/human issues?
