I've gotten to the midlife crisis part... but with a large family and a mortgage, I think crisis mode is going to linger until I finish paying off my mortgage in a couple years. For some reason my wife doesn't like the idea of me quitting my dev job and buying a farm out in the country. So I'm the guy that grows things on every square inch of land and raises chickens, rabbits, and anything else my zoning ordinance allows. If I could farm and write software remotely on a part-time basis, I think I would like that. That's part of the problem with these big changes in life. You never quite know how it's going to impact you. But you'll never know if you don't try, right? And the idea of part-time software development seems almost blasphemous in the era of "go go go" sprints.
