I was just joking.  It's a serious question - nothing improper about it.
But I think many of us are (or were) indie developers. Probably low numbers
who decided to retire - indies can work from home and the number of hours
they want (if they can control their sense of greed and turn down work if
it makes more hours than they want to work). The rest in the W-2 world
probably worked from home and were under much less pressure to retire to
escape from the work world.

But the Great Resignation is a real thing, for sure.
