I'm only 28, and I have a long way to go before retirement, but here goes nothing.
I'm in France, so assuming our system stays the same, I can expect a decent retirement wage. Something that would let me live without too much trouble.
With that context, working when I retire wouldn't be mandatory.
However, I feel like, if my body and mind still allows it, that I would enjoy coding when I retire. I always felt drawn to writing. I could see myself writing books/courses to try to pass on my coding knowledge. I feel like, without the pressure of earning money, I would be only interested in what my code is used for. So, coding for non-profits, helping relatives with their projects, giving a hand on software I feel is really making a positive difference in the world... That would be the main difference I think.
I'm careful about this today, but when you have to pay the bills, you have to accept taking on work that might not get you super excited all the time. So, yeah, I think that's that. :D

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
