Did you? He's not talking about quitting his job, but his (former) passion. That's not retiring.

- SlashmanX 11y agoDeirdre is a woman
- treerock 11y agoDid you really? She isn't quitting her passion, she's quitting doing it for someone else, i.e. her job. >"It’s not to say that I have no interest in software. Of course I do...What I mean is that I can’t do it for someone else the way I used to...I have some ideas of what I want to do software-wise, but I’m not ready to announce them yet."
- jevgeni 11y agoSo she isn't retiring, is that what you are saying?
- irishcoffee 11y agoShe hasn't been self-employed in 38 years. Unless she is in some very unusual life situation, you don't try your hand at self-employment, after 38 years, unless you can afford to fuck up in grandiose style and still be financially secure. So yes, she is retiring.
- jevgeni 11y agoYou retire when you hang up your hat and start getting pension. You can keep you opinion, but I prefer the one without brave assumptions about a person I don't know.
- irishcoffee 11y agoHeh, your age is showing.
