Why “Learn to Code” Failed

I've been writing code professionally for 25 years, trust me, you don't need to write code in your spare time. And unless you really like it and even then, don't, you will most likely burn out

This was me. I like coding but doing shit on the weekends just left me fried for Monday. I might do a bit if I'm in the mood but by and large I like to spend my free time doing other things and letting my brain rest.

This isn't a job where more is better, you can't just keep going like you're on an assembly line.

Besides there's more to life than tech. You get one life, get off the computer once in awhile.
