"But aren't you just trading the location of work for the most part?"

No, because I have complete control over what I do, what tech I choose, and how long to put in. If, for example, I decide one day I don't feel like doing it, I can blow it off and go fishing. If instead, those hours were dedicated to the company, I wouldn't be able to do that.

But it's still work and those working many extra hours like me always have the choice to work fewer amy particular day or week and triage.

It's not still work, though. It's completely different.

And no, I don't have the option of working fewer hours. Nobody really does.
