I am right there with you. I am in my 40s, and have a solid career as a corporate & solo dev. and I have started feeling that weight as well. You might just be describing a "modern" mid life crisis. Self reflection without

They are very "dog" like. Maybe a new market will be small robotic pets you can upload your old pets mind download into to have "fluffy" with you forever - or until the maintenance contract is up anyway.
