I thought it was cool they retrained their Oracle DBAs into other roles as part of the project.
There's stuff I don't like about the job - estimates, daily stand up, other meetings, investor-oriented development. Nearly all of that is gone with retirement.
The work isn't so much for money, but getting opportunities to practice building things better as an individual. I don't need to retire early; the work gives me practice and lets me meet plenty of mentors from different fields.
Every time I reach a goal I move the cheese. I think I'm still getting better. But I'm also realizing the potential to pursue previously unknown goals. It is part of an ongoing discovery process that is not limited to engineering.
If I had a lot more money, I would probably pursue my goals differently but I don't think I would stop pursuing them.
Why?
And agreed about the nature of many disagreements coming down to context and facts. My comment is aimed at people who seem to insist that other posters don't understand their context or have all the facts, when they actually do and yet continue to disagree.
