That was my dream too when I retired from computer programming 10 years ago. I got bored. I was good at programming and now no longer have anything challenging or interesting in my life. Really programming was the only thing I was good at. So now most of my day is either doing something I'm not really good at, or challenged by, or procrastinating to avoid doing something I'm not really good at or interested in. I haven't given up yet.
- mantas 2y agoWhy reture from programming? Personally I don’t see programming itself stressful at all. In fact, it’s very relaxing. It is the human side of holding a job, or worse, working at office. Minimize human side, maximize programming and it’s a win in my books.
