> I want to spend time partaking in my hobbies on the weekend. However, I often find myself lifeless and staring blankly out the window. My mind is tired, my body is fatigued. By the time I'm fully rested it's Sunday night. At that point, it's time to head to bed and start the cycle of work again. This in particular resonates. I used to be in the same sitch. Eventually it became unbearable, a random 3 hours errand would ruin my week. How much could I have accomplished in those 3 hours, I was telling myself. I was also trying to work on a startup in my spare time but it wasn't possible. Sometimes, you spend half day fixing some build system and by next week, you'll forget where you left off. Eventually I had to quit my job to maintain my sanity. It's insane how much you can accomplish in a good week. I recommend it to anyone questioning their current employment situation. Hit me up (email is in my profile) if you want to explore this life style. The crazy thing is that even if you fail, you’ll be ten times the programmer as when you left. Two IRL friends quit their jobs to work on their own startups or freelance. I've also convinced one person here on HN to do the same. Those startup ideas might be more realistic than you realize, if you are given enough time.
