I am retiring in four days. The last time I will ever have to use Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio will be Thursday morning.

I can't escape completely - my Epson bulk photo scanner doesn't seem to have a Linux driver - but I won't be compelled to use Windows for eight hours a day five days a week, and my usage will be in a stripped back virtual machine.

No more f****** Copilot, or Outlook or SharePoint 365 crap. I can't wait. It's #FOSS from now on.
@dave I think a Stackoverflow dev survey found an awful lot of FOSS is retiree authored. Enjoy the freedom!
@boggin
After 40 years of working as a software engineer at the coal face (very little of that management nonsense) I'm very keen to give something back.
