I’ve finally decided to phase into retirement. I’ve been a programmer, architect, consultant, and analyst for 60 years, and so I’m far past normal retirement age. I’ve been challenged, inspired, enriched, and disappointed in turn with the tech world, and I’d rather remember it at its best than play in it doing things I don’t believe in, or that don’t seem relevant any longer. I thank all those who have shared their carreer insights with me.
