This fall represents the end of a full decade since I lost my last “tech reporting” gig at ZDNet and started focusing on finance.
I’ve made a lot of money. The value of my stock portfolio has tripled. I’ve found a good niche with InvestorPlace that has eased me toward retirement. I only work because I want to. Social Security would pay me more right now. But writing isn’t a job. It’s living, it’s breathing. If you can get paid for it, that means people are reading you and benefitting from it.
I’m very, very fortunate.
Most of my last decade has been spent following the clouds. Cloud computing, which combines distributed processing, virtualization, open source, and scale, has proven itself as the 21st century’s first great technology revolution.
