> Sweet semi-retirement, how I love thee.
I feel the same. Not having people crapping all over my work, is bliss.
I would have loved another decade of salary, but my savings were perfectly adequate for a reasonable retirement.
That's nice for you that you made enough money from your careers to not optimize your productivity, and to enjoy spending your time with code as leisure.
You two are retired or semi-retired and interested in the pleasure of coding apparently as an unpaid hobby. But I am speaking only to the utility of LLMs for business needs as an indie - the blog post is also about making a living as an indie and speaks to LLM use in terms of what they found productive. Indie in this case means independent business, not independently retired from business...
Yes. Note that I mentioned that, in my comment.
BTW: I didn't actually make that much money. Kids coming out of college, make more than I ever did, at my peak. I just lived very frugally, avoided personal debt, and saved and invested as best as I could.
I guarantee that a lot of folks here, would sneer at the way that I lived, and live now.
