My 2 cents: - You now likely have the money/time to pursue passions you didn't know you have, or would have developed if you didn't pursue software development

My 2 cents:
- You now likely have the money/time to pursue passions you didn't know you have, or would have developed if you didn't pursue software development as intensely.
- Even if you had/have passion for computers, being paid to do something you wouldn't do otherwise can quickly drain that passion.
- We're built for sunlight and exercise, not LED light and sitting, so you may have felt increasing physical discomfort that only the former can alleviate.
- Woodworking and farming were never lucrative enough (or as lucrative as computer work) to convince you to make the switch for money.

- TomasBM 9mo agoDepends if you find that fun enough to counterweigh the bad sides of work. There's a common trope that monetizing your hobby is a good way to start hating that hobby. But it doesn't have to be that way; a lot of people love what they do.
