I program for free, nowadays. I made enough, as a manager (which I hated), to be able to retire early, at a fairly humble level (which was a good thing, because no one wants to hire "olds"), and I do work on nonprofit stuff.

The project I'm working on now, would make a lot of Fortune 100 companies green with envy, and I'm doing it for free.

My career seems to be doing better because I'm crowding 50. I was expecting worse.

I suspect the biggest blocker for me, was that I was a manager.
