This argument can be applied to any hobby. :)
"You need a job to support yourself so you can play piano as a hobby."
"You need a job to support yourself so you can do rock climbing as a hobby."
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoThis is true; it's no wonder that a lot of people in the arts (or explorers like climbers) come from wealthy backgrounds. For most of us, music or climbing is a hobby that needs to be fit in somewhere in their normal schedules. And when it comes to IT, writing, learning, and things like open source are often also spare (sparse?) time activities. Which is a shame, I like to think I could write decent blog posts or even books but I never have (or take) the time. I have a passing hobby in music but that too never really takes off beyond noodling.
