Well programming is one of the most entertaining thing that exists. It can be a great hobby, just like some others will do wind surfing, build RC vehicles or go to the club. Even if you are already paid for it during the day. Contributing to common goods and exploring new stuff is very fulfilling.
- duderific 10y agoI used to feel like that. But now, 10+ years into my career, with a wife and 2-year old son, plus a full time programming gig, I just don't have the time or energy to dive into new projects after work or on the weekends.
- kbart 10y ago"programming is one of the most entertaining thing that exists." Yes, I totally agree. But doing it 40 hours a week is enough for me and after 5pm I want to do other things as well.
