Alex Ives is twenty years into a career in tech, and this episode is him properly stopping to ask whether it's actually been worth it. It's a wide ranging one, the toll the industry takes and why he's had to learn to say no, the glass jar analogy that changed how he thinks about time and priorities, what a night inside a major tech outage actually looks like from the ground, parenting in a world that's always online, and the family history that's got him entering one of Australia's biggest charity car rallies year after year. Burnout, gratitude, community, and the small habits that actually help him switch off once everything else is stripped away.

In this episode:

  • Twenty years in tech, and whether it's actually been worth it

  • What a night inside a major tech industry outage actually looks like
