I love software engineering and working with other coders. That said, the second I'm able to retire comfortably, I won't bat an eye.

I might still decide to work on something but very not primarily software. Maybe I'll teach, work on something more manual or do volunteer work.

Thankfully my wife doesn't read HN.

My wife always tells me I'll drive her crazy if I retire. One piece of advice is "retire comfortably" is a moving target. I could probably have retired 5 years ago "comfortably" and now I can retire "more comfortably" and yet it's probably not in the book (yet).
I hear this a lot. Curious what languages did you program in?
