Purpose and structure doesn't have to come from a job. I took 2 years off, and then spent another 2 years working on a startup without getting paid for most of it, and it was one of the most fulfilling things I've done.
But did you spend all day every day chasing hedonistic pursuits like GP mentions? That’s the part I think would get boring fast.

A core team of pre-millionaires won't necessarily, or even likely, work the same as a core team of post-millionaires.
I would expect this exactly. Why work at all when I can drive my Ferrari collection, all damn day.

#67Thank God they didn't take it. Cisco turns awesome products into crap.
Doesn’t Meraki still make good products? Though as far as I’m aware Cisco pretty much has just gave them money and left them to do their own thing.

#69People seem to generally have very positive comments on DataDog - maybe it's me but I've generally found it frustrating. The sampling and retention rates for tracing mean I rarely see the errors that actually matter. I dislike not having an actual date/time picker in the APM section too. Either way, I've had a worse experience with Cisco products so good for them saying no.
We hadn't used DataDog, but after our whole team kept getting endless semi personalised buddy buddy like spam from their sales people, we all swore off ever even contemplating using them.

Offtopic, but I'm not sure I've ever read a more American phrase than "pre-millionaire".
