    Would you stop working? Would you find a new career? Would you start your own business? I'm not sure. Work isn't all fun and games, but neither is sitting at home and partying all day... At least work makes you feel kind of useful. I'd probably work less though. And travel more. I was wondering what the average CP'er would do. I know there's some people here who really love to code :D

    It's an OO world.

    public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
    {
    public void DoWork()
    {
    throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
    }

    - I would work LESS - Do something on your own - related to CODE - MORE fun

        I wouldn't stop writing code.  I may quit my job.

        Absolutely not.  All I ever want to do in life is build software.

        Unlikely.  I would probably devote my time to teaching pro bono and open sourcing my projects in the hope that others might use and improve upon the source code. /ravi

          I don't even need infinite, just a few $M. Work less, or not at all, travel more and code for fun or charity. But then I'm getting close to retirement anyway :laugh: .

              I'm already retired and if I had unlimited monies I would travel a lot more but will never stop coding, it gets in your blood.

              Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

                I would hire all the space agencies and space companies in the world to build a full size USS Enterprise out in orbit and go live there. Never mind the lack of gravity generators, impulse power and warp cores, I'd also hire a team of researches to figure out all that stuff. Then again, maybe I would just hire the biggest army in the world and take total control of the planet and nuke the f***rs that disagree with my policies. Mwahaha. So, take your pick - you want me off this ruddy rock, or you want me to become a megalomaniac. I can live with either answer. :) Marc

                    I'd stop working. I would not stop coding. I would like to approach some charities I admire that have awful websites, and offer to write them good ones, I've considered doing that, either way.

                      Infinite money? Buy everything that is even remotely for sale. Stuff, real estate, corporations, entire countries, even people. Then be a Benevolent* Dictator for Life over everything I own, which would be almost everything on Earth and some stuff out in space too. * opinions may vary. And maybe write some code in my spare time.

                            I have my own business I would quit, and run far far away. And leave the door unlocked to let the dogs pilfer my office and lab to their hearts content.

                              I'd quit my programming job, but I wouldn't quit programming. I've been accumulating more ideas for pet projects than I'll ever have free time to do them, even if I was to start working full-time on them tomorrow morning. The problem with the software I have in mind is that none of it will pay the bills.

                                I would start studying. There are so many geek stuffs I want to learn but can't right now. Well some part of my motivation to build software comes form the idea of money and a successful career. With the first one gone, I would stay mostly at home, bring down my working hours to single digit numbers. I would also get a desktop pc with everything in it. Also I would travel, anywhere I can go with my bike.

                                    I'd pass it along to everyone else.

                                    I'm predicting infinite inflation. :)

                                      I would hire all the space agencies and space companies in the world to build a full size USS Enterprise out in orbit and go live there. Never mind the lack of gravity generators, impulse power and warp cores, I'd also hire a team of researches to figure out all that stuff. Then again, maybe I would just hire the biggest army in the world and take total control of the planet and nuke the f***rs that disagree with my policies. Mwahaha. So, take your pick - you want me off this ruddy rock, or you want me to become a megalomaniac. I can live with either answer. :) Marc

                                      Yes, but in one of cases the your life might be considerably shorter, would you live with that too?

                                        Yes, money would be meaningless.

                                          I'm also predicting an infinite supply of toilet paper. :)
