I'm curious, do you consider the first thread demotivating or a bunch of whiners!

intended to demotivate a bunch of whiners?!
j/k
With the original post, I made a joke on the OP comment, and did not provide context, which is a reference from Despair.com.
The Demovotivators are the name the company www.despair.com[^] gives their line of de-motivational posters that satire motivational posters.
Whiners is not targeted at anyone in particular. I was trolling because, this time with context. The referenced poster is specifically relevant to the current World Cup.
Hopefully everyone is now well aware of the pithy products and statements Despair.com makes in satire of the motivational product industry.

It's the calm before the storm: the hamsters are putting a "diversion all posts" from QA to here to make up for it...

I've been writing & supporting code for commercial and bespoke (mainly business) systems since 1978 on many different platforms and languages, and 36 years later I still love it, still do it for a living, & am writing my best stuff, but look at all the new languages, frameworks, operating systems etc. and think "here we go again" so am getting increasingly reluctant to want to keep re-learning it all once more, and at 52 I still often put in 80+ hour weeks to meet deadlines but can feel a bit of the passion dying year on year, so how long have others kept on? and if you moved away to a different sphere or know of others that did, what did they do? I earn good money which is hard to give up but it isn't the be all and end all, i'm just looking for something different where I can put my experience to good use and have a tad more fun over and above being some sort of 'manager'. Thanks.

I've been programming, and the associated stuff, since 1975; and I still am. I expect when I die someone will carefully pull the keyboard away from my cold dead fingers, unplug my mouse for the last time and switch off my non-touch screen to save the last ergs of power on the planet.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
