This sounds kinda like me except i’m you when i’m 30, coding full-time and writing fiction on the side because it doesn’t pay. I’m hoping to turn writing fiction and non-fiction into a part-time job eventually, and maybe write some technical books along the way. Before working as a dev, i worked for a media company writing a bunch of shit and i hated it/felt like high school writing assignments with no autonomy, so i decided to protect that passion and turn my coding hobby into a full-time job. My goal is to have the freedom one day to write what i want and make some money doing. It makes sense to me to get good at writing and coding, and combine those things eventually. Just gotta be careful not to spend too much time coding.
