Because of the thrill of it.
My day-to-day is devops with a little frontend. It's drugery. I got into programming because I wanted to do games programming. That's where I started. It was thrilling, doing demos, entering competitions, pushing pixels. Fucking thrilling. But then I needed to get a job. Nobody needs a games/graphics programmer. So, I read a couple of database books, and now life sucks.
I'd love to go back to where the rubber hit the road.
- javert 12y agoSounds like you know what you want in life, I truly envy you.
- inDigiNeous 12y agoSo, what is preventing you from doing just that? Life is short. Computer projects are big. Do the math. I know this may sound harsh and stupid, but just reminding you to follow the path of love, and not stick to any dayjob. Left my dayjob in 2012 december. Been following my heart since then, a difficult path, but so rewarding, I couldn't even dream about what has happened since then before when I was still in the mindset that I have to have a steady job. It's not like that. Once you decide to go forwards, the Universe and the World around you starts to adapt to that projection. Encouraging everyone here to follow your hearts and not accept what is considered normal as your destiny.
