I've always struggled a bit with being a developer whose hobbies mostly existed away from the computer. Sure, I enjoy video games, but over the years I've really acknowledged that I don't want to sit at my desk outside of work hours. I don't even really want to open my computer on the weekends anymore. So to hear you say the "creativity doesn't only go into the code anymore" and talk about learning how to really cook makes me feel like we are both heading to the same middle ground, just from different directions.
I started getting into stained glass. But that's partially because I was already cooking, though recently that's lost a bit of appeal.
I haven't been in tech quite as long as you have, but I think I'll keep trying new things and seeing what brings me joy.

having a hobby that isn't related to tech is important these days. I was talking to a chef today, in the restaurant I usually eat after going to the therapist, it's cool how cooking and coding can be so similar.

I love a good rant blog.
