I started with programming as hobbyist. I never actually studied it (beside some basics which I already known when they teach me that). I ended up writing CRUDs, various data converters and fixing bizzare bugs in legacy software. Slowly I lost interest in programming and I discovered that I am no longer interested in new tech. I completely missed javascript hype train for example. But it's OK. It's just a job. I have other hobbies/friends to feel fullfilled. Also - I keep programming as hobby. I just more interested WHAT I am doing instead HOW I am doing that (which is just usually easiest path). For example - I really started digging into audio programming - basically coding my own VSTs in Csound/Cabbage. That's really interesting stuff and also sometimes very challenging, because it involves math which I am generally struggling with (I had diagnosed discalculia back at the school). For example: I just spend two days (!) inventing this little piece of code: f(k,n) = (k * n) - (k-1)
