Started programming at the age of 10, studied CS, became lecturer/researcher, funded a (web) company, exited successfully after 15 years, now investing in/developing real estate (and some Angel investing in startups). I don't regret it, it had become rather tedious to follow every FotM and deal with crappy software and artificially obsoleted hardware etc. - and most interesting problems are now too big for small companies, the rest is mostly solved/engineering. Also, had some nasty surgery in my spine (spinal cord tumor) and can't type as fast as before. Still read HN because IT is still a hobby.
