minus-squarelimer@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up31·3 days agoBeen coding for decades: burned out several times. I always return later after other jobs I think the most job satisfaction I ever had was demolishing a house, another good thing for me was delivering pizzas.
minus-squarevfscanf()@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoSo, did you quit your job as a developer and delivered pizzas for a while?
minus-squarelimer@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 days agoYes, although I still worked on my own projects. I have drifted from professional to other for many years. Now that I have coded for two generations now, I often think I should have chosen some main occupation that was not a sit down job. But it is what it is, and I will probably program more than anything else for the rest of my working life
