    Honestly? If I won the lottery today I would still work. I really really enjoy my work. It keeps me focused and motivated. My problem is having my livelyhood tied to the wims of a chaotic prideful coke filled VC

      That’s fair, and also true for me.

      I enjoy laboring. I do not enjoy working for others.

      I’ve got endless amounts of side projects that I never have enough mental energy for because the job saps it all.

      When I got laid off last year I had about a month between jobs where I got to just do whatever I wanted. After about a week of decompressing I started working 5ish hours a day on side projects, because I wanted something that was more mentally stimulating.
