I recently did the same thing. Hit 30; reflected on last decade. I had moderate success consulting but didn’t get a single product off the ground. Considering the lost potential earnings, the need to reset savings and the lack of a pension I thought it prudent to get a full-time job. I’ve now been employed for 8 months or so and it’s a huge relief. Formerly every waking hour was working on the product. Now it’s 9-5 working for the man and then have the rest of the time to relax. It’s been truely impactful. I’ve started reading again and am much happier! Being an employee isn’t for me but I will stay with new status quo for a couple of years, get a healthy financial buffer and start something else again. I’m working for a medium sized company and am an engineer with limited responsibilities.

> The use of a bespoke, BBC-owned typeface also aims to save the organisation money, because it will no longer need to pay the licence fee to use external typefaces, according to the BBC.
It's fascinating to me that 100-year-old fonts can still be so expensive that it's cost-effective for an organization to commission their own (not to mention the costs of replacing everything) from scratch like this.
That was my immediate thought. Does anyone know how much these licenses cost?

Primary use-case is to read receipt data from legacy POS systems without having to write software integrations.
