Yes, absolutely. This is way more fun than anything else I could imagine doing for money. Certainly not for this much money. I only ever do contracts. Short ones preferably, so that I can have as much time off as I need to recharge. My current one is a part time, 2-3 day week gig with a startup that's building a popular product. It's mostly young kids, so they choose stupid but fun tech to build their thing on, which means there's always lots of fun cutting edge technology to play with. I treat it more as a hobby than a job, so I'm happy if they decide they don't need anything built for half a year My main income comes from a couple feature complete SaaS products (that are also fun to work on) with enough paying customers to keep the bills paid, built on a sensible, boring, stack so that they don't need my day-to-day attention so that I can spend my days on more important things like bouldering, travel, and family stuff. But yeah, I couldn't imagine being in this position with any other sort of profession.
