Make money forever?
Work until you create an income yourself?
Contract and retire early?
What’s the goal?
We make so much money very early in our careers that it’s very easy to lose track of what the end goal is.

#2It took me way too much time to realize that, whatever is to be done, career should be absolutely sacred. Please note that I'm choosing the word sacred as a language figure but without any exaggeration.

#5No end goal - just want to work on things I enjoy working on and make as much money as possible while doing it. It's kind of a strange question - which careers have end goals anyway?

So what’s the point? You want to work forever? There’s no goal to retire early and just enjoy life or start your own company?

The software engineering career is a ridiculously “fast paced”. career. 5 years experience in programming is the equivalent to 20+ years in another industry. There’s very few industries where you can make a 200k+ salary in your 20s.

#10step 1. retire early (which to me just means becoming financially independent)
step 2. get physically active, probably lots of backpacking and camping to serve two purposes:
1. better my body/mental/emotional health and
2. slow down and get bored enough to rejuvenate creative inspiration
