I am personally acquainted with some senior citizens who have sharp minds and continue to learn and grow (in some cases doing original academic research). I hope I continue to learn and grow well into my old age

My hope is that my personal "retirement" won't mean "no longer working for money" but rather "no longer having to work for money". I like what I do and could see doing it (with a more flexible schedule) for many many years in the future.

  Hear hear. On an unrelated side note, I don’t post my public twitter handle on this account’s profile page, but I did on the account that bears my real name. Some years ago you followed me on twitter and were to date the only person from HN to have done so. In gratitude, I followed you back, and I have been duly rewarded by your engaging content and your explanations of the ins and outs of auth. I particularly enjoyed your ELI5 thread on oauth. I have an appreciation for DevRel I would not developed had I not been reading your tweets. To come back to the topic at hand: Tech is for the public good. Shout it from the rooftops!

    Ah, thanks! I appreciate the kind words and the feedback. Tweeting is often like screaming into the maw of a nameless void, so it's great to hear that you found some of what I said useful.

  > no longer having to work for money I don't get paid a dime, and work harder, each day, than I ever have (like really "each day" -My GH Activity Graph is solid green, and I don't game it. I like to write Swift every single day). In fact, almost every bit of software that I've shipped (personally), in the last fifteen years or so, has been unpaid. I was paid to manage other engineers, writing ship code. I love where I am, and have no intention to get back in the rat race (sorry).
