I guess I am lucky since I enjoy coding itself so immensely. Whether I’m coding on a side project or coding for work, I love it all. This has not really changed over the past 8 years.

The people I know who view programming purely as a means to get a high paycheck don’t tend to last very long or achieve much success especially in FANG, they burn out because it’s hard to excel in something you don’t have any passion for. Imagine trying to be an author but not caring about writing - good luck with that.
