I love coding, but I do enough of it as a full time job that my passion for external side projects is pretty low. I mean that more in the context of "The problems at work are novel enough that 8 hours of working of them is more than enough brain time for me thanks", although honestly if I had a day where I get stuck in meetings for 4 hours, one of my first impulses when getting home is to pound some time into a side project.
I think it helps that my company is small and I have wide latitude to do whatever I want at work, as long as it works at the end.
- magicalhippo 6y agoQuite similar here. I do find I need to do some "pure creative" programming every now and then if the work stuff has been a bit boring, but being in a small company as well I can usually find time for that. Doesn't have to be big stuff, mostly just exploring ideas and the boundaries of the language. Basically having a bit of fun with it.
