@sldrant @mo We’re in the same boat then.

@nivrig @sldrant not long to go then 🙂

@mo @sldrant too long 🤣

@nivrig @sldrant my plan is to pay off the mortgage, get a nest egg for putting the kids through uni, and then quit this game. I don’t want to stop working, but I think I want something that gets me outdoors a bit more. Ideal is postie!

@mo @sldrant I’m a ways off be able to do that, but it’s a nice idea. I’d be making video games :)

@nivrig @sldrant I’d still like to get outside more, but if I could make a passable income at building synth components, I’d be pretty happy!

@nivrig @mo good to know I don't have to move into management, or another industry though. So much of IT is really young, I was wondering if it systematically forced older workers elsewhere

@sldrant @nivrig what’s wrong with being in management? 🙂

@mo @nivrig nothing if that is your preference. Its just that there are very few old developers around, you start wondering where they go

@sldrant @nivrig they go to a (server) farm in the countryside where they get to live out their remaining days in a lovely place where they’re taken care of and definitely not euthanised.

@mo @sldrant Sounds nice, can I visit them?

@nivrig @mo sounds great! When do I get to go?

@sldrant @nivrig @mo Don't panic, kids.
