I made a financial planning tool in a couple hours that can model various stages of life and potentially guide job searching and work timelines.

I swear I saw a version of this years ago on one of the popular tech blags like Coding Horror or Joel On Software. I briefly looked for it the other day and couldn't find it. Anyone happen to remember it? I think it was mainly about salaries and when stock options would vest.

This is cool, but I for one hope to be able to continue to work until my last dying day.

Used to think the same when joining the field and now I despise every minute I have to work on software I don't care about. AI even made it worse as I joined the field due to liking the coding part, not the results. Well, there isn't really an alternative for me either as there are basically no jobs I could learn that pay equally well...

How much coding are you doing nowadays vs. AI doing it for you and you reviewing/pushing it into the repo?

Hopefully you can retire early and then work on software you do like!! All those glorious ideas you had... but didn't have the time for. But be careful on the retirement part, the numbers go out the window (Andersen not Microsoft) when inflation bites :-(

This is a great attitude to have! We need more goyim like you!

Don't forget the unbounded liability that is the US healthcare system!

If you like this, I highly recommend https://projectionlab.com/ for scenario-modeling your future income and retirement.

It's been discussed here a number of times and I've been a happy customer for years.
