Yeah, as the old saying goes: There's nothing wrong with a simple life of peace and prosperity.

I frittered away large swaths of my 20s, and now, as I try to make up the lost time in my 30s, I often think of an entirely different quote though:

  Software development, like professional sports, has a way of making thirty-year-old men feel decrepit.
