Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don't need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time?

I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it's been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it's time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Mostly I’d just do the same thing, but for myself rather than anyone else. I’m almost there, because I started my own company, but I’m still coding to make money rather than coding for fun. It would be great just to write code for fun. Until I’m able to, I’m just working on my email service, Port87. It is really nice to work for myself, at least.
