This can actually make things (much) worse:
Since you have now another topic you are insanely passionate about, you see a lot of additional things in the world that are broken and need fixing (though of course typically not via programming).
Thus, while having a very different additionally hobby (not or barely involving programming) clearly broadens your horizon a lot, it also very likely doubles the curse/pain/problem that the original article discusses.
- brulard 1y agoI agree with this. My hobbies tend to completely take over my thoughts and then it is difficult to switch to work context. It's much simpler for me if my hobby overlaps with my day job. If I get better in my hobby, that helps at job and vice versa.
- piva00 1y agoInteresting, we are absolutely complete opposites. I do not ever want my hobbies to be anywhere close to my job.
