- redeux 5y agoFor some coding is a craft and a job. Just as I would expect a professional musician to enjoy growing in their craft and learning from their peers, so do people in other areas of life, including programming.
- parafactual 5y agoNot all of us are professional programmers, and especially not all of us are only professional programmers.
- autoliteInline 5y agoFor me, programming for free would be painful at a cellular level. Better to learn the piano or how to do portrait art.
- teddyh 5y agoProgramming constantly changes and evolves. Does your employer allow you to use your work time to read journals and educate yourself on modern developments? If not, you’d better do it in your own time if you want to avoid being stuck in the past.
- nkrisc 5y agoAnd my work is not programming so coding in the morning for me is the same as you playing guitar.
- schwartzworld 5y agoEh, I was a hobbyist before being a pro. I love coding at home, I just won't do the same thing I do at work.
