If you want to program, program.

Your day job is just a day job.

And thus orthogonal to programming.

Vonnegut sold Saabs.

Jamie Vardie laid bricks.

Gene Simmons typed in an office.

And they were just about the luckiest ones.

At best, your day job fills some of your creative needs.

Even then, it is still a day job.

Good luck.

Great post. I do think every experience has something to teach; that can be very difficult -- I'm experiencing that now! -- but we just have to be open and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing this.
