True – a distinct likelihood when one starts a professional blog near the end (not necessarily planned) of one’s professional career Given the IT racket’s slow recovery, I figured this is as good a time as any to retire. And the allure of not having to (a) go to work or (b) worry about getting freelance/contract work done at home or on the road was too much to resist.
Not that I’m complaining – I started writing software professionally (assembly language and COBOL) in 1973. I’ve done it or taught it ever since. It’s time to call it a career and get on with the rest of my life. My only regret is that nobody is happy enough to see me go to give me a gold watch.
Am I closing down Kokomo Beach – the blog, not the municipal water park? No, I may still feel the occasional urge to shout something into the ether. I just won’t feel guilty about not doing it.
