There's a lot of negative vibes in programming these days. When I think of a programming community I think of fun, learning, engagement, projects, /programming/. These days it feels like it's just for money or power. These negative feelings make it all less fun.
So I've been doing music instead. I'm not good at it at all, but learning it ticks pretty much all the boxes that programming does. It's scientific in some ways, creative in others, and overall kind of fun to just build things.
- castalian 3y agoTBH modern music also bears a lot of negative vibes.
- jasonm23 3y agoThe industry is not the music. Musical improvisation is one of the few forms of art a creator can enjoy as much as an audience.
- makz 3y agoExactly my thoughts. I've shifted to music as well. I'm not interested in programming anymore, music has taken the place programming had and for a living I do tech support.
- speff 3y agoI switched to cooking - gives me the same feeling music does to you. Not so great for the waist though
