I retired as a programmer (fancy way of saying "got laid off by giant corporation") a few years ago and randomly bought a used school bus to convert to a motorhome. I got so much more satisfaction out of doing that than out of any work project I ever did, and even learned to weld and fabricate in the process. Also very happy that I never had to deal with the AI "revolution". Managing a team of offshore developers got me as close to that shit as I ever want to get.
