It’s interesting to me that people find so much meaning in their jobs. To me work is just the means to obtain the money I need to actually live my life.

As someone who has spent my currently almost 20-year career building stuff in companies - and whole verticals - I don't care about at all, I agree mostly. As long as they're still going to pay me (GIANT hopeful assumption there) I'll supervise a 'team' of Claudes or whatever and don't really mind because I was just writing boring-ass corporate software. If I can get enough money to retire before it's too late, I won't miss work at all.

Unfortunately I am not sure the 'tech' industry will have a lot of use for me, pretty soon.

    That's the core issue. Our time is running out pretty soon anyway. I have no intention of downgrading my lifestyle to the point of near homelessness, better be dead.
