I'm glad I got out when I did. :) This simply isn't something I want to do for a living. I'm glad there are people who do, though.

Judging from your username, you are 10 years older than I am. What are you doing now? Early retirement? Or career change?

Went from 20 years of dev to teaching CS at a university--for as long as that lasts. Call it "semi-retirement". :)

After that, who knows. Maybe the whole system collapses and I just go to work as a tutor for some rich peoples' kids in exchange for loaves of bread.
