sorry for a weird question but how does one decide to be a barista programmer? is it because you like being barista or is it because programming doesn't pay enough?

Maybe he is programming baristas. Like Westworld style.

That explains the name recognition.

"Could I get your name?" "Bob." "Sorry, I can't help with that!"

Honest question. Is being a barrista better, or just different?

oh I get you... I've been writting CRUD applications for past 2 years. It gets boring some times, but also quite challenging quite sometimes... Been wondering how would it be to work another proffesion. Like now I work as a programmer and don't have any hobies outside of computers but I could be working something else and do programming as a hobby... definitely worse for future money wise...
