That argument is why I initially didn't become a software engineer. I was doing business thingy jobs because writing code was what I loved and i didn't want to ruin it.
But then I realized doing what I love and getting paid for it is even better. Have been doing that for many years and never regretted it.
That said, it's a personal choice and different for everyone, so what was right for me doesn't need to be right for you.
Btw I love how random this hobby of yours is. Usually all you see here is tech projects.
- barbariangrunge 4y agoI used to do game design as my hobby. Now I do game design as part of my job (programming and design), and that’s fun, but not as fun as it was before. Now, peoples lives are affected by whether I do a good job now (Eg, bad design -> failed game -> my friends at work lose their jobs). I also have to do it when I’m not in the mood as well, with strict deadlines. I don’t want that to happen to my writing, which is purely enjoyable right now :)
