It's a dangerous path of introvert freelancer. At some point it becomes easier to type than to speak. And, damn, coding is addictive.

- anoncoward111 8y agoCoding is addictive? It's something I can barely compel myself to do anymore when I'm paid roughly the same to do customer service.
- whatsstolat 8y agoNot the OP, but the coding I find additive is not the coding I get paid for. E.g. playing around with a new language or framework because its fun.
- anoncoward111 8y agoEven coding my fun projects becomes a hassle and annoying when the precise vision I have is not easily and quickly built with the available tools. These days I get an infinite amount of pleasure from chopping onions, carefully cooking them until they caramelize, salting/spicing them ever so slightly, and watching the smiles on my friends faces. It's a definite and immediate payoff, and a visceral one at that :)
- abledon 8y agoIt’s addictive for lots of people, everyone has different brain wiring rigs! I agree though that there are tons of easier jobs with higher pay that let u go home at night and still enjoy futzing with sideprojects — esp government with vacation policy and sick days!
