Well it’s ok to not like coding.
We all like to think we’re doing some amazing rocket science. Like we’re able to mold dreams into reality with code and it’s so engaging we ought to want to do it every waking hour.
But TBH much of the time it’s just work. It’s hard work, with deadlines, legacy code maintenance, bikeshedding, customers, and thankless tasks. It’s not molding “Dreams into reality” most of the time.
I hate it sometimes. I give myself the freedom to hate it. To have it not be my passion. I let my natural interests guide me to and from it. So far I’ve stuck with it through the years, enjoyed it much of the time, but I would have burned out if I didn’t pace myself to my interest level rather than external pressures.
