I'm not rich, but I have enough to live out my days [humbly], and leave something to my daughter.

But I get to write code, Every. Single. Day. Code that I want to write, the way that I want to work, at the Quality level that I want to deliver.

That's heaven.

I would not be here, if I had been able to find work, after leaving my last company at 55. So, I guess being frozen out of the tech industry is maybe the best thing that has happened to me. It was the kind of thing I wouldn't have known was possible, until I was forced into it.

But I wouldn't turn down a few extra mil. It's just that I don't think the fox is worth the chase.
