> I still write code every day in support of my generative art practice. The code is much more complex than anything I did previously, and much of it does not have anyone else doing it, so it's a lot of invention, which is fun.

Can relate. I've been "retired," since I was 55, and SV was nice enough to let me know that I was too old to play in their pool.

Pissed me off, something fierce, but, in the long run, it's the best thing that ever happened to me.

I could have made millions -for other people- maybe for me, as well, but I have never really been interested in that kind of thing. The work and the technology has always fascinated me.

I've found that what I really enjoy, is making UI tools for nontechnical folks. That's what I do, these days. I make free software for folks that can't afford the kind of stuff I do.
