Officially retired. Managing the money I saved to retire on, which is more time-consuming and stressful than expected. Working on yet another static site generator but stymied by my terrible Git/GitHub skills. Studying historical Western secular music. Jazz guitar too.
- adityaathalye 2y agoHappy site-maker-makin'... It is a most respectable yak shave. I had such a good time making mine a couple of years ago in Bash (https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite). If Git/Github are interfering, just drop the folder in dropbox (or suchlike) and version control like it's 1990 (ssg_2, ssg_3, ... ssg_final_final :). Nobody can fire the officially retired developer for doing this in 2024.
- tomcam 2y agoHa! Love Shite! > Nobody can fire the officially retired developer for doing this in 2024. Hey! You’re right! Lovely idea. I like the cut of your jib.
- darkwater 2y agoWould you mind sharing your approximate age? Did you work in a FAANG?
- tomcam 2y agoMid 60s. Microsoft 1996-2000 but ran my own business for 20 years after.
- pdfernhout 2y agoOn managing money, given you mention time and stress, have you considered the Bogleheads approach (e.g. VTSAX+Cash/Bonds and chill)? https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Getting_started https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Getting_started
- tomcam 2y agoThat’s what I do. But tbh I came to it late and I am still trying to time things a little due to economic turbulence.
