Hello World 👋🏻I'm a young man working to be a full stack developer. My goal is to create a programming community for exchanging ideas. Send weekly newsletter! Thx for 160k view❤
Building things is very rewarding. I like coding too, but there's this never ending quality to it that is unsatisfying to me. In construction you walk onto an empty property and leave behind a home. A home that will likely outlast you.
It's true, not all software projects are equal. But how many of us are creating software as useful or meaningful as building a home for someone to raise a family in?
I've spent most of Covid working as a general labourer and plan on changing to construction full time. I will continue coding. It's fun to make a computer do what you want. But I've spent 9 years sitting on my arse for 8hrs a day, I don't want to spend the next 20/30 years like that.
Also, everyone I know that makes good money, own a home, have a good work/life balance, they're all in construction.
And the tools. You get to play with sweet power tools all day.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Why?
