I spent from 1996 (when I graduated) -2012 as a part time fitness instructor, active runner and a weightlifter.
I spent from 1996-2002 and 2006-2012 hanging out with friends and dating (I was married from 2002-2006.
From 2012-2022 I spent my time with family (got remarried in 2012).
By the end of 2022, my wife and I had gotten rid of everything that wouldn’t fit into three suitcases and decided to be “hybrid digital nomads” where we stay in our “vacation home” from October - early February and we fly around to different cities in the US for the other 7 months.
I’ve also taken back up running.
There is so much more to life than pecking on a computer during my free time.
Software development is a means to an end - nothing more.
Do you mean you coded for fun before graduating and not since, or ever?
Like you never coded a little game or a shell function to make your commandline usage easier or anything like that just for your own use, for fun?
Honestly it’s a double edged sword to like coding because then you get opinions about languages.
I could never be a mercenary in anything though. If I didn’t like coding I’d be a destitute individual.
