Nothing is fun 8 hours a day

[-] lmaydev@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago

I'm a programmer and would happily spend 8 hours doing it in my free time haha

It's nice to get paid to do something you enjoy. But it's still not as enjoyable as doing it for fun.

Plus, when you get to a certain point in some careers, especially IT ones, you don't have to work a full 8 hours straight. I can pretty much keep whatever hours I want as long as the job gets done.

Sometimes that includes overtime, but most of the time it doesn't.

I am a systems architect. I love my job, and work is the only place I can do this stuff. I don't have a million $ for hardware here.

Also, I'm paid well and the environment is great. For me, it is true, I don't "work", I do what I like. And as a german, I benefit from all the holidays, and general employee rights and protection.

Good for you! I studied computer science and afterwards I had no joy in programming anymore. I'm a data manager right now, doing data stuff and little programming which is ok. Maybe I will do a full time programming job again one day.

Yeah I actually studied games tech. So it was more focused on video games. It was a lot of fun.

We had one module that was just playing board games and then finally making one.

Computer science level stuff isn't needed for like 90% of jobs. Although I'm sure it helps.

Yes programming is the way. Truly the closest thing to this dream
