There are some companies where they confuse that with waterboarding all the time.

I can get you a discount on an annual hall pass.
Best of luck on the new venture. Fun at any age.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

The grass is always greener, isn't it?
I've worked at a smaller company that got acquired by Microsoft. A few years later, I'm at another small company that got contract work from them.
Based on my experience, let me put it this way: I've come across a quote a few years ago that I really liked and agree with, I forget who said it, but suffice it to say that it was from a Microsoft employee reflecting back on his career. He pointed out that he knew there were very smart and competent people working at Microsoft--he just hadn't met any of them.

Thinking about this article https://thenewstack.io/challenging-the-myth-that-programming-careers-end-at-40/[^] and lot of voices here echo just doing development work for decades but one thing that I am curious about is how do you manage getting $$$ amount that align to your skill set.
Programming jobs by and large has celling on how much you can make doing certain things. You can know number of tools and tech but still there is a limit to what you can make unless you are a wiz working at top tier company.
How did you overcome this obstacle?

"Getting rich" is a combination of luck and timing; same thing applies to jobs. In the early years, you could make a killing if you knew SAP; now you can find SAP jobs on rent-a-coder. Timing and luck; you just have to make yourself available. And jobs can evolve in unexpected ways; possibly making you an "in demand" expert for a particular skill you learned "on the job".
The next "phase", if it pans out, will be quantum computing; to which you can already get free access (since they haven't figured out any commercial uses for it yet).

I still have two years to go 
I've come to realize I don't want to go into management, at least not in the next couple of years. I enjoy development, research, etc. but the admin side isn't that nice and I wouldn't want to do it full time. I don't mind being paid less than a manager if I don't have to deal with that side of the process.
