I’m less prone to be typing on weekends, due to my tendinitis I’ve been healing up, but learning new things is the reason I get up in the morning. I’d rather avoid my day job topics (swift and iOS), unless I’m writing an app for fun, but I’m planning on learning gamemaker for kicks. Back when I started my career 6 years ago, I knew nothing about how to write code, and had no choice but to cram in the evenings and weekends. It was pretty stressful to try to learn something in a single night. That has changed. I’m not a fantastic engineer, but if there’s something I may find joy in that has to do with tech, I won’t mind taking a look on a lazy Sunday. Lately I’ve tried to branch out more and get into exercising more and meditation, and that has actually given me more energy to keep growing as an engineer.
