And a good chunk of them probably hit it big at some point and retired early. I know so many software engineers my age (40s) that are effectively retired already.

Yep. Most of my friends work as software engineers and we're in our 40s. And most of them have/could retire if they wanted to.

One was working at Google and got shit for taking time off when he planned it 6 months out. He quit and decided to retire early instead of putting up with it. He's 42.

I don't, but then again I didn't focus on applying to the giganto companies every single year...
