It is also good to acknowledge to yourself, who you are, and stop looking around at others, feeling guilty and making excuses. If you want to code 12 - 18 hours a day, and you are not neglecting other responsibilities, then go for it. Don’t apologize to yourself that you aren’t into biking, marital arts, cooking, or skydiving. I’m speaking to myself, BTW. I have spent a good portion of my life of explaining it to others and questioning it myself. I started programming in the 80’s though, and I had to fight through a wall of people with the mindset that computers were inherently “evil” and treated with high suspicion because they were not commonly understood. Yes, I grew up in a backwater.
