For me, it's a few things (some of them also identified in other comments here)

* Keeping my finger on tech and its changes

* A tech community

* Off-the-wall things to read

* Ideas for side projects - e.g. implementing lisps interpreters

All of these have got more valuable now that I'm retired and not surrounded by tech peers
