- I would work LESS
- Do something on your own - related to CODE
- MORE fun

so you'd spend your time in self contradiction?

Only with money, the life is going to be boring....

Well just how much infinite money are we talking here?
|
|
|
|

Probably Aleph one[^], seeing as money is rational number...

Just a little bit infinite
It's an OO world.

I don't even need infinite, just a few $M. Work less, or not at all, travel more and code for fun or charity. But then I'm getting close to retirement anyway .

I'm already retired and if I had unlimited monies I would travel a lot more but will never stop coding, it gets in your blood.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

I would hire all the space agencies and space companies in the world to build a full size USS Enterprise out in orbit and go live there. Never mind the lack of gravity generators, impulse power and warp cores, I'd also hire a team of researches to figure out all that stuff.
Then again, maybe I would just hire the biggest army in the world and take total control of the planet and nuke the f***rs that disagree with my policies. Mwahaha.
So, take your pick - you want me off this ruddy rock, or you want me to become a megalomaniac. I can live with either answer.

Yes, but in one of cases the your life might be considerably shorter, would you live with that too?
|

I'd pass it along to everyone else.

Most creative (!) and beautiful answer so far!

I'm predicting infinite inflation.

Yes, money would be meaningless.

I'm also predicting an infinite supply of toilet paper.

No, they'd stop printing currency. But I suppose you could scrape yourself with a debit card.

A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

If everyone has infinite money then no one has infinite money...

Yep.

I'd stop working. I would not stop coding. I would like to approach some charities I admire that have awful websites, and offer to write them good ones, I've considered doing that, either way.

Since you'd have infinite money, you might as well give money to the people the charity are helping, and make the need of a website obsolete...

Infinite money is a TERRIBLE idea. If everyone had enough money to never work, the world would stop. And if someone had infinite money and could help anyone they wanted, the law of unintended consequences would wreak havok.

I have my own business
I would quit, and run far far away.
And leave the door unlocked to let the dogs pilfer my office and lab to their hearts content.
