Ask HN: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
This is a good chance for some self-reflection!<p>I&#x27;d like to be living somewhere with better weather than New York City. Also with more outdoor and recreational opportunities. I get really, really depressed every year between like December and April except for skiing and 1 or 2 other winter activities that keep me going. But the dreariness and hibernating bother the f*ck out of me. Yes, I know it&#x27;s all about what you wear out and not the weather but really...it&#x27;s not, at least for me.<p>I&#x27;d imagine that I&#x27;ll be married to my current girlfriend. I love her deeply and it seems like that&#x27;s the path I&#x27;m going to take at this time &lt;3.<p>As far as work - it would be really cool if it was cyclical. Spend 2 or 3 months on, 2 or 3 months off. Working on writing code and making things happen for myself or other people. Have enough in the bank to work only when I have to only on projects I care about but still own the house I&#x27;ve always wanted to.<p>Speaking of that, I&#x27;d also either like to have bought the land and started envisioning or to have actually built by dream home, a modern house that&#x27;s kind of like the one from Ex Machina, in nature and completely automated! Cliche, I know.<p>In an ideal world, I&#x27;d be working in some capacity to get us off this rock. Kind of hard to transition from web dev to space though, I think? Haven&#x27;t tried it yet, might be time to soon.<p>All of the above is said knowing that I already have a much better life than most and I&#x27;m not really entitled to more, but I&#x27;ll work for it and try to get it like any other human.<p>As far as IT - I agree with a commenter below. It&#x27;s cyclical and not too much will be new. I do think something will have begun taking more of a foothold that will replace mobile phones, either AR or VR based. Otherwise probably not too much will change. Which is sad because progress is just too slow for me.
