I plan on becoming financially independent within 3-5 years (FIRE movement). I love making things though, so then I might do one of these (or a combination):

- Continue working. I am very happy at my current company, and I know there are some other great companies where I wouldn't mind working.

- Make open source or projects. I've done many OSS projects and I can see myself doing more. However, the direction where web OSS is going is very dangerous, might not be worth it at all within 5 years https://github.com/franciscop/

- Make small but nice products, I have many things I like solving with software like https://core.cards/

- Create my own startup, who knows.

- Get https://able.bio off the ground and go full-time on it.

- Use Able influence to set up training and work facilities for programming in rural communities across South Africa (my home country). Enable them to export code to bring income to their communities.

- 2 kids and at least 1 dog.

- Buy and convert a barn in southern Sweden.

- Learn about C++, compilers and networking protocols.

Long lost sibling, is that you? =) I am from the DRC living in SA and have been thinking of ways to build training and work facilities back home for youngsters! Been contemplating how to use a TopCoder type model, idk.

And dogs, I love dogs.
