Just imagine no need to work ever again.
You can spend quality time with your kids and wife (as you no longer come home drained and irritated from work)
You can buy what ever gadget your heart desires.
You no longer have to worry about increases and or promotions (as the perosn with his head up the bosses backside usually gets the promotion eventhough he/she might be a mediocre developer)
You can tell your boss, ceo or whoever else at you place of employment to take their job and shove it. Then you buy the company and fire the @ssh0les.....

Ego non sum semper iustus tamen Ego sum nunquam nefas!
