Listening to the little nagging voice of career sensibility stops being a good idea if you're not going to then turn that quality salary and employment security

Listening to the little nagging voice of career sensibility stops being a good idea if you're not going to then turn that quality salary and employment security in to a base for a fun life.
If not programming, that 20% of your brain would have been thinking about whatever else it is you did for a job.
- pikachu_is_cool 10y agoI think it would be a lot less than 20%. It's so much easier to context switch into and out of the "work" mindset in other fields. By default, this "computer brain" of mine is carried with me when I leave work. I have to make a concentrated effort to context switch back into "real life" mode (similarly how I have to context switch into "computer" mode). I think that's why so many of the good programmers are a little weird and introverted, because they don't bother to context switch back.
