Love it! What a great inspiration to unsigned musicians.

@j_king: Started my company in 1998, but by 2002 made it so it didn’t need me to run profitably, so that felt semi-retired. Then I sold the company in 2008, and set up a trust that’ll pay me out a little income stream for life.

It was mostly just luck and persistence, but anybody can do it if they focus on setting up a system, instead of requiring their hands-on labor for income.

Arch linux ftw. Although I prefer stumpwm to ratpoison. Tiling wm’s are the best. It’s hard to go back and use someone else’s desktop where windows get lost behind one another. The cognitive load is too much for some reason.

Curious to know how you got to your “retired” state. Do you think other people can do it too or did it happen mostly by serendipity?
