I don't plan to retire yet, but I do see alternatives. Frameworks, libraries and operating system versions come and go. There is no need to keep up with all that. Algorithms and architechture usually are independent of programming languages and frameworks. Those are the things to concentrate on and then learning to use some currently popular thing will be no effort. And they will also be forgotten just as quickly.

My personal alternative will be to leave the nice orderly .Net world and look for a nice C++ job. Somebody has to work on those nice operating systems, drivers or GUIs. And I have gotten tired of playing with Lego. Time to write some real code again.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity
