Going to throw a bit of shade here, but there's a lot of irony in thinking that "hiking" is some exciting hobby while denigrating people building stuff in their spare time.
- hobs 6y agoIt's not saying its exciting, its that its equally boring.
- triyambakam 6y agoI don't think the parent poster is giving any judgement to how people spend their time, only qualifying how.
- actuator 6y agoI don't think he is denigrating it. He probably phrased it badly, but he meant you did side projects like a hobby just as well you might have done hiking in that time.
- makapuf 6y agoExcept that some side projects have value. The fact that you do the show useful traits- not all that you should consider hiring and not sufficient but useful. Not agreeing they have more value than hiking is wrong. I know several side projects which did have value and shown at least that their holders were interesting to hear.
- confidantlake 6y agoI read it the same way. Hiking is a stereotypical hobby along with playing an instrument.
- jonathankoren 6y agoAll hobbies are irrelevant.
- jokab 6y agoI work at a company as a consultant. Devs here have been doing the same thing for 10 years. Webforms. Guess what? None of their hobbies include coding. Stuff like git is like fire to these cavemen.
- jonathankoren 6y agoMy first question is what does migrating to a new system get you that the current system doesn’t? Is the new system even compatible with existing system? I ask, because you sound like you want to rewrite a stable system. Stop whining and make a business case. The idea that you need hobbies that match your work is as dumb as expecting a funeral director to embalm cats on the weekend.
