When I was 20 I could come up with an idea and just sit and my computer and code it over however many hours without experiencing any issues.
If I was reading a book as a teen my eyes would eventually get a little fuzzy, but we're talking margins here.
Now I'm close to 50 and a confluence of things have hit me. I figured out that I have a crippling case of ADD (who knew?) and the medication has been amazing. I really want to code more and have so many ideas and things I want (and financially speaking need) to work on, but my eyes are taking a tremendous amount of strain, so in the end a whole portion of the gains feels as if they're being wasted.
The old brain is at least still firing, when that begins to go I'm not sure what I'm going to have left.
