Calculated it just now. Only about 8950 days until I can retire.

@dev_Paul thanks :). It’s not where “I see myself in 5 years” yet.

Someone recently told me they don’t like to think of retirement because they are living for today. I get it, but I’m active somewhat in life. I like what I’m doing but it’s fun to think ahead

@derickflorian But yeah, I get that too.

I used to think about retirement when I was in my 20's.

Now I just want to find something I can do the rest of my life, even part time later on if I want. Hopefully software is it. Or I'll finally open up a custom wood shop......

@dev_Paul Either would be cool. I took a class on planing wood with a friend and then I preceded to do nothing with it. He then really got into woodworking and redid a lot of house.

How is your software dev journey going btw? Are you still primarily focusing on web dev?

@derickflorian

I've been using tools all of my life and have a garage full of them. I think I may take an actual woodworking course at some point. Custom homes is a bit different that furniture or cabinets....

Once CS50 got into Python I really found I like it, a lot. So I'm focusing on that but not sure in which direction. One project used Flask and that's what I'm using for my CS50 final project.

@derickflorian ......Android is still of interest to me too.

You?

@dev_Paul it’s going well but ramping up in how complicated it is. I’m working on working on a C project now. Up until now I've just been using Python.

Python is a super useful language. From the job descriptions I have seen at my company for engineers Python is always at least in the preferred qualifications section.

I am getting the web development itch. I’ve been looking at making my dormant personal site/blog more fun and less complicated. I have been looking at and possibly learning html, css and enough to get something up and running.
