> I'd assume the majority of developers is not doing coding at home, as long as they don't have to learn a new skill for their next job. They neither hate nor love coding, they tolerate it as a means to an end.

Coding's fine. Sometimes fun. Our tools mostly suck though. I'm done fucking around with broken technology in my spare time, since I get more than enough of that at work (at this point I'd prefer zero time doing that), which means I'm mostly done with tech shit. These days I'd even get rid of home Internet if no-one in the house needed it for work or (increasingly) homework. Can buy more media than I need for the cost of broadband + media services, libraries exist, and books are better besides (one of the most truly valuable parts of the Internet is Library Genesis, which is illegal anyway, and is all about... books and journals).

I was all about this stuff as a teenager. Now I wish I could find something that pays even close to as well that never, ever involved looking at a glowing screen. I'd absolutely love to go weeks without touching a computer.

Write me if you find something we'll paid outside of tech. I'd love to get out, but nothing (I could do without years of training beforehand) would pay the same.
