You don't mention any details of your current role. Are you full-time or contract?
If it's the former, you could always try contracting for a while. A few potential benefits:
- You're only in the same organisation for 6-12 months so it's less likely to get stale.
- You'll earn more $/day so you can take more time out to pursue other interests, holiday, play with your kids etc
- It's a solid precursor to starting that 'successful tech business' that you dream about. You're less likely to break out and pursue that while you're earning wages.
Of course if you have a family to support then a lot will depend on your financial situation. But as another poster said you should be in reasonable shape if you've been a dev for 15 years...
