I'm kinda in this boat, been on a sabbatical from tech for two years, considering possibly going back to work next year.
Really feeling very good about my decision to bank 70% of my tech salary for a decade. It's not quite retirement, but being within spitting distance has made the AI revolution taking a big slice out of demand for my career while I'm out of work a lot less threatening to my financial stability than it otherwise would have been.
The internet is not a society of any sort though, any expectation of trust that broad is just idiocy. The moment you connect a device to the internet, it's full PvP. Until the ingroup is all of internet connected humanity, any network enabled software will have some North Korean sweatshop or misanthropic scumbag looking to mess with it.
