Dog Smile Factory

I've been coding for over 30 years. I retired from one job in 2007, and another in 2017, but I've never been able to permanently retire from writing code. It helps me achieve that wonderful state of flow, where I feel energized, focused, and full of well being, even when I'm tracking down bugs. If boredom ever does set in, it's so easy to find new areas of interest and challenges. People keep inventing better ways of doing things, so there's always something to look forward to.
