- Releasing my first metal band album in college. - Being a part of a few music videos in Los Angeles. - Performing my first 5 minutes at an open mic night for comedy. - Being invited to perform 8 minutes on a Friday night at the same club. - The process of learning Chinese and being able to speak to my girlfriend's family during Chinese New Year.

All of these were funded by coding.

Work doesn't have to be fulfilling. It's cool if it is (I'd much rather get paid $5000 to perform at the comedy club rather than two free beer tickets ;-)) but don't worry if it's not.

How did you manage to fund your hobby with coding? I'd like to do something similar but I feel like a fish in the ocean.
