Basically, I'm there.
I'm really productive. So productive, in fact, that I have to slow down for the rest of the team. a lot.
Rather than be frustrated by it, I use the extra time to do things like dig out a flowerbed for my wife (ow), or catch up on streaming stuff.
But I really like coding, and tend to spend free time coding; even though I don't have to.
It makes a huge difference, not having someone breathing down my neck, basically saying "Shut up, bitch. Just go out and make me money!"
I don't have a ton of money, but I have enough. I live frugally (many folks here, would have contempt for my level of living), I can afford good development systems (my toys), and I have a great deal of social interaction.
