I have been developing software for over 30 years. I have been self-employed for 16 years. I did it with hard work developing applications for a lot of companies and establishing a reputation over the years. I understand from the documentation that I will be 57 years old this year. (Those of you that know me will think I'm lying about my age) I work 11 hours a day. Almost all of that time is spent on new development in VFP, maintenance and business administration. I spend as much spare time learning Python as I can. How do I do it? Divorce and marrying a babe worked for me!!! To be perfectly honest, there is nothing more important to me than a good night's sleep and getting away from it for a certain amount of time each day. I close the door no later than 6 or 7 in the evening and don't open it again until the next morning. Also, I don't work on weekends. I may study Python or do some tidying up, and I take calls from customers but that doesn't bother me at all.
