I would actually like to be retired from the public politics-of-software within 5 years, focusing instead on the constructive and technical. (I'm looking for a replacement.)
I want to be successful, and so far things are going well and I think I will be, but I also think that success will make me less perceptive on what's actually going on. Ultimately, the way to know a society is to talk to the people at its bottom. In my case, most of the things that have awakened me to the evil lurking in our community (meaning technology, not just "startups") happened 2-3 years ago. Ten years from now, I hope to be an expert on other things but my evilology will have rusted.
