Same as the rest of my free time: I play video games and watch TV shows all day before complaining that I lack time to work on my side projects 😁
Games are the real distraction for developers :D
Hmmm... working on side projects 😁
dev.to was born this way 😄
Seems like dev.to has many cousins who are born this way 😂😂
You know what I'm gonna open a topic about those stuff... let's see the community's holidays born projects 😆
Yeah Dev has become a fabulous community :) What about you Ben? How will you spend holidays?
I’ll be spending my winter holidays around family and friends while mostly reading books so I don’t need to talk to them that much. 😄
Great, So which side project you have planned this vacation?
They're never planned... they pop out of my mind at any second with eye glances thinking this is gonna change the world.
Eventually, they get into the to-be-done-in-the-afterlife 😂
This is me.
Story of every developer i think. haha
I go to work to let the people with kids and close, big families spend time with them. Our only mandatory days off are Dec 25th and Jan 1st, so I don't want to take all that PTO just to sit at home reading dev.to when there's going to be no work so I'll be reading dev.to in the office.
Which works until we have expectations to complete .4x the amount of work as normal when functionally there's only 1 QA in the office and 2 devs WFH the whole sprint. And those devs aren't the same the whole time, so it ends up being mostly people half finishing work then passing it on to someone else while I'm waiting for something to test.
I'm 35 now, work as a lead software developer. I starting doing computer stuff(image/video editting/FX, networking and front/backend/hardware programming) from when I was 14. I spend most of my evenings and weekends writing or reading about code for as long as I can remember. As a kid I loved to play with crayons or set up armies of GI-joe figurines or read comics, visit the library. Cozy "me" time has always been very important. Now and then I go on holiday for a weekend to see friends abroad or rent a boat with friends to go out for a week of trailertrash booze pirating and sometimes I go with my girlfriend to see a foreign city. My girlfriend just had 2 weeks off chilling.
In a few days I start my 3 weeks holiday, and I'm planning to do what I have been doing whole my life: Feeding my urges to play, read and to create. I bought a book about Algorithms and one about Category theory, which I want to work through. There is also a game-engine which I want to try out.
So yeah.. that is how I just go through life and holidays :D
I wish you all a creative and fulfilling holiday!
I used to play video games and when I'm bored of that write code for some side projects.
However now that I've got a wife and a toddler, I'll celebrate christmas and hang out with my inlaws like any other boring family does. 😁👍
you are going to spend typical vacations. well you can go out with them 😊
I always take vacations in Christmas so I always spend it with my family, eating, receiving and giving gifts and just having lots of fun with them. To me Christmas is the most important time of the year because I always have a lot of fun and I hope this year is the same!!
:D
Great, family comes first. You will have again a quality time with them.
I don't take vacations, I don't need those. I got plenty of work to do like finishing some cool new stuff for twist.moe, finish some animes and netflix shows that I have started but couldn't finish and yea that's all I guess.
This year, I'm taking two weeks. The first one, I'm going to be in Mexico! The second, I will be at my parents' house in New Hampshire!
Great, That will be the quality time with parents :)
Well, I have exams on January, so I guess I'm going to be having tons of funs studying (/s) :D
So, where are you going on this vacation? any spots decided?
