#15I think, no one will be able to answer this question precisely. Lets ask, Where do you aim to be 3 years from now?
Where do you aim to be 30 years from now is an interesting question because our industry seems pretty committed to the belief that there is no place for people 30 years older than us.

#16That would put me at 55. I intend on not having to worry about money by that age. I will likely have a few rental properties. Ideally, living somewhere warm where I can exercise for free (eg. swimming in an ocean or a public workout area). Enough income generated from investments to take a yearly vacation. If programming still exists, I would still do that as a hobby. Writing trading algorithms for fun, gambling with slightly better odds. Teaching is also appealing to me, not necessarily in academia, but maybe if I get good at a martial art over the next 30 years.
In short, doing whatever the hell I want.

#17Space! Assuming we solve the problems of death and aging (I'll be getting pretty old by then...probably still alive and in pretty good shape, if my rate of aging thus far is any indicator), I'd like to be colonizing another planet. But, 30 years might be optimistic for that. I can dream big, anyway.

#19While I can't say for sure where I'll be 30 years from now, I feel like it is better to dream big than to give up while I'm still young. With that in mind, I'd love to be helping to get us off of this rock before we accidentally sterilise it - even better if I can do so before 30 years passes.
I'm with Elon Musk on this one "I'd like to die on Mars, just not on impact".

#20That'll put me at 84. I'll be retired.
I'm hoping to get another 20 years or so out of my programming career, though. I think I can do it, though I'm pretty unsure on my strategy for working for a traditional company in my 60s and might have to do consulting or some similar kind of piece-work.
