So um, where do you work again? (jk) But seriously, great answer. I am in a similar situation time-wise. 30+ years as a dev. My situation is a little different. I am currently working at an international bank out of NYC. The people I work with are great, but the company situation is not that great. Poor, outdated equipment, horrifically restrictive IT security policies (no DLs from Github, or very limited, many legit dev sites blocked, horribly intrusive performance killing anti-virus software, etc, etc, the list goes on and on: basically a dev nightmare) But you know what? I don't care. On the days that I actually get to write software, I feel at one with the universe. It doesn't even matter what that software is for. I am certainly not saving the world or even working on cool stuff, that is unless you consider publishing Risk & Analytics data feeds to be cool (;D). I just love writing software and always have. I consider myself to be greatly blessed by my circumstances. I had a 10 year period where I played at being a team lead and a middle manager and absolutely hated it. Long story short: love being a senior dev. Hope to do it for as long as I can.
