All I can say is when you work at your passion you don't work a day of your life.

I love hacking tech even on the weekends and after hours. If you don't then you might want to consider a new career.

I think a big part of why 30 years into my career I'm still learning is because to me this is my "fun". I don't want to watch 30 hours of reality TV. I'd rather build a cat feeder that uses OpenCV to identify which cat is eating and when the cat's feeding bowl is empty.

Recently my job shifted yet again to more management and my wife suggested I "take vacation and work on that iPhone app you were playing with a couple months ago". She knows I'm a much more enjoyable guy to be around when I have had a couple really nice zoned out hours pounding a keyboard to beg a computer to do something stupid I've come up with.

PS: When my wife saw this first thing she asked was if I could interface something like that to the cat feeder. :-)
