Discussion on: Does coding become less fun when its a job?

After working in the industry for almost 20 years, I still find myself having fun on a daily basis.

I try not to exhaust myself on side projects if I'm busy at the office and inversely, If things are quiet at work, I find myself naturally ramping up my learning or side projects. If I don't keep this balance, I tend to get frustrated at problems instead of having fun solving them.

I have the most amount of fun when I'm learning something new, and thankfully I work for a company that understands technology is constantly moving, so trying and testing new technology is always encouraged (especially on internal tooling/projects).
