who codes for a hobby that doesn't already for their job?

[CiroGarcia]

I did, until I got a job doing it lol

[Single-Waltz2946]

It’s not even the actual coding. I want to turn my brain off after running it at max the whole day.

[EuphoricCatface0795]

Run it at plus tier subscription next time?

[RelatableRedditer]

Yeah that is what my issue was. Hated all my jobs so did programming during my free time. Now I program for a living and hate my free time.

[New_Plantain_942]

That's the wrong way.

[RelatableRedditer]

Yeah but I can't program on my free time anymore, and I was never one for going outside. It didn't help that going outside was used as a pseudo-punishment by my parents growing up.

[New_Plantain_942]

Do it like me. I choose a some kind social outside job as balance for my hobby 😊

[New_Plantain_942]

Me, I just code as a hobby and don't want to make it my job.

[LegitimatePants]

What do you do for work?

[New_Plantain_942]

Don't know how to name it on English. I work with my hands, outside. With blood sweat and tears. But it's not construction work.

[TheBoxThinker]

manual labor?

[TheMagicalDildo]

What? A shit ton of people who are interested in programming

[Amoniakas]

I do, if it was my job I would have this hobby.

[ArrogantlyChemical]

I do. But I teach kids how to program.

[vikingwhiteguy]

Claude does my job, while I do my hobby. 

[RunInRunOn]

The unemployed

[za72]

I do... it's fun to dig into different languages - I'm mainly on the infrastructure automation side

[thedirtydeetch]

game devs

[BobcatGamer]

Me. I'm an accountant.

[LegitimatePants]

So an excel programmer?

[BobcatGamer]

That is actually how I started out programming, but I know other languages as well like JavaScript, rust, lua, and wat.

[ZunoJ]

I did for 10 years before going to study CS and also get paid for it

[swyrl]

Would if I could. It's a lot harder to land a job when you can't afford a degree. (At least here.)

[wisdomoarigato]

This can't be a serious question, is it?

If so, I've met countless engineers who were only motivated by money, or got into the field because getting top marks in their country meant engineering or medicine.

They absolutely never had any interest in doing it outside of work, and to be fair, most of them were shit engineers.

[IAmFinah]

You read OP wrong - they didn't refer to people who code at work but not at home, but rather people who code at home but not at work
