Reply to comment by Eelroots in [Text] How do you fix your life in your 30s after wasting about 8 years unemployed and living with family by sleeplessbearr

I have a friend who got burned out from coding. He got his electrician papers and started working at data centers because they need electricians on site for emergencies. Since few emergencies happen, he has 80% free time. You know what he does in His free time? Codes games. Funny guy, I tell ya.

It's more fun to code without the pressure of deadlines and not having to adhere to all the requirements a client wants for their app/game

Makes sense actually. Those people who does coding outside work as a SWE are truly passionate about the field. For most of us, that’s going to lead to burnout. It no longer becomes fun if you make it your hobby and a full time job.
