      My financial advisor told me about a client who became very wealthy in tech. They owned several homes, married and had children, traveled all over the world, and bought expensive things. When asked what made them happiest, they replied, “Sitting in a quiet room writing code.”

      I know several “tech people” who are wealthy, and having kids and grandkids changed what “happy” meant from them. Some don’t touch a computer for days now..🤷🏽

          Same Paul. Don't get me wrong, I love my work. But it doesn't compare to walking through the woods with my family, and playing with my kids. Which this week means wrestling and dancing 🤣

          Sounds like 75 yr old semi-retired billionaire Jim Clark, ensconced on his yacht and coding an Objective C app to remotely secure his yacht and possessions.
