I'm reluctant to weight in as I'm only 36 and well not terribly impressive. However as the owner of a company I must say programming is so much more relaxing than dealing with people... well mainly just people external of our company and family. There is something extremely cathartic about programming. I'm not sure I can ever fully describe it. All I know is when I have to talk to a customer or partner I occasionally think... god I wish I was programming right now... even in Perl or PHP... anything. The irony is I actively seek conversation as I always want to improve our company but about 20 minutes in and I start feeling uncomfortable. The thought of never programming again is a scary thought to me.
