- wpietri 4y agoAs I get old to start thinking about exactly how long I want my career to be, this is inspiring. He is coming up on 80 and he's still coding.
- paledot 4y agoIs it? I'm glad it's an option, but I'm also glad retiring at 40 is an option (depending on a lot of stars aligning just right of course). My answer to "how long do I want my career to be?" will never be "until my body or mind fail me".

- wpietri 4y agoDepends on how you think of it. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "career" here, as I wrote code long before people paid me for it, and aim to keep doing it long after.
- jope12 4y agoDepends on what you mean with 'career'. Brian Kernighan doesn't do this because he needs money, but because he would get bored otherwise.
