What's Your Hobbies Other Than Programming?

Introduction

We love coding software and it is our prime hobby but when we are frustrated and exhausted from coding software, we need a rest. So when you take time off from coding "What you do in that time ?". So let's discuss about our hobbies other than programming.

[Khang]

Other than programming, I enjoy coding...

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Okay, then other than coding and programming what's your hobbies?

[Khang]

Ok, joking aside, I try to have a balanced and healthy life with other activities like doing some light workout, spending time with family and travelling whereas possible :)

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Traveling is one of my favourite things to do. Trying to explore as much as I can

[Khang]

Yep, turning off the screen to see the world sometimes can bring me a lot of ideas to build something useful with...coding.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Definitely, peaceful places are my favourite

[Ryan The Ghost]

Do you have a background in maths ?

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Yesss, little bit

[btlm]

Since professional programming is my job, in my free time I enjoy coding, especially game development :D

But to be honest, my "non-coding" hobbies are:

• cycling - I really like to clean my mind with an hour or two on the road (with some coding podcast in my headphones)
• playing video games - mostly online multiplayer games like MMOs, MOBA etc.
• reading books - fantasy, sf and crime stories!
• watching anime - AYAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HAP]

Anime is life!

[BeginnerCoder17]

exactly

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Anime love and I love cycling too ♥️

[Austin S. Hemmelgarn]

• Watching anime. Currently working through Lupin the Third, actively following Black Clover, One Piece, Boruto, Fire Force, and hoping for new seasons of My Hero Academia and One Punch man.
• Reading. Currently reading one of the better English translations of Miguel de Cervantes Saaverda’s El ingenioso hildago Don Quixote de la Mancha. Probably reading either J.R.R. Tolkein’s translation of Beowulf or Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogoy, unless of course one of the various ranobe I actively read gets a new volume in English before I get there.
• Cooking. I’m a bit of a gourmand, and unfortunately much of the international cuisine that I particularly enjoy is not readily available in the area where I live (and what cuisines are often do not include many of the things I actually like from those cuisines), so i have to cook such food myself. This, in turn, has lead to me seriously impressing some relatives with comparatively simple dishes like gravlax or yakisoba simply because they’ve never even heard of them before, let alone tried them.
• Video games. Currently actively playing Warframe.
• Table-top RPGs. Just recently finished a homebrew D&D 5e campaign, currently playing in a Pathfinder 1e Kingmaker campaign, and working on building a homebrew Pathfinder 1e campaign.
• LEGO. Picked up again as a hobby in the past year or so after having not done anything with LEGOs for years. Mostly focused on cars and other vehicles. I’ve built both the Lamborghini Siän and Bugatti Chiron sets (and plan to get the new McLaren and Ferrari sets coming out 2021-01-01), as well as a custom build of a Morgan Motors Three-Wheeler, and I’m currently working on a motorized Avtoros Shaman, though that’s on-hold until I can find an ABS-safe semi-dry lubricant that won’t make a mess everywhere (which is much easier said than done as it’s apparently difficult to find one that doesn’t include solvents that will degrade ABS in some way).

[HAP]

I recommend GATE (Crunchyroll), Erased (Crunchyroll, Netflix), Vandread (Funimation, Hulu), Robot Carnival (Amazon Prime), Memories (Amazon Prime), Re:Zero (Crunchyroll, Funimation), Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon? (Crunchyroll, Netflix)

[Austin S. Hemmelgarn]

I love GATE (I’m sad they have not done any new seasons, there’s a lot more story there), and rather like Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon. I’ve not seen the others yet, though Re:Zero is on my list eventually. Next big one for me after Lupin the Third will probably be Detective Conan (known as Case Closed in the US because of ridiculous IP laws) as it’s one of the few remaining anime series based on a best selling manga that I have not seen.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Definitely I will check those out 🔥🔥🔥

[Markel F.]

Wow, as a native Spanish (and Spaniard for the matter) it impresses me that you are reading El Quijote, even in Spanish it's a dense book.

[Austin S. Hemmelgarn]

I’ve been on a bit of a streak recently reading older international literature. I decided about a year ago to expand my knowledge of historical literature, especially from other cultures. El ingenioso hildago Don Quixote de la Mancha easily made my reading list because of it’s cultural significance and how highly praised it is by many literary scholars. I’m part way through chapter 15 at the moment, and so far rather enjoying it, though I will admit that it is somewhat heavier reading than I am used to (though it’s nothing compared to Romance of the Three Kingdoms in that respect, that one almost reads like a history textbook...).

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Yessss, he reads Spanish and I trying to learn Spanish as I am huge Barcelona fan ♥️

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

For Anime - I am watching Tokyo ghoul and classroom of the elite.

Cooking - I want to learn cooking. Currently I am newbie in cooking.

Video games - Mostly I play FIFA on the PC and PES on mobile. Now you know that I am big football fan.

And you Lego collection is fabulous ♥️

[Ben Halpern]

Exercise!

Check out the new Flowstate Forem if this is a hobby you're looking to get in to.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Definitely I will check it out and thanks for commenting your hobby.

[peter]

I am fascinated by games and the e-sport industry. Recently, I have seen an increase in the popularity of esports games. This article describes it perfectly. By the way, the game will be very profitable if you use it in esports.

[Agathe Badia]

I enjoy drawing, painting with watercolor, cooking, playing video games, and sometimes stream it on Twitch. But I also discovered I can grow veggies and herbs on my balcony, so yeah, gardening as well :D

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

That some great hobbies. I want to learn cooking as well ❤️

[Abhishek Patel]

Apart from programming I usually fix my friends code, and contributing in open source.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

You are great man and I love such friends Woh helps other ♥️

[Abhishek Patel]

Yup I think we'll connect via social network. 👍🏼

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Yess definitely ♥️

[Sandor Dargo]

Apart from programming?
Coding. Software development. Writing about such activities. Or speaking about them. Not to mention reading about software. Hm....

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Great ❤️ but what outside the software development hobbies??

[Sandor Dargo]

Probably semicolons!

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Nice one 🤣🤣🤣

[Sandor Dargo]

Otherwise, I like sourdough baking, hiking, travelling, reading and writing (not just technical content).

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

I also love to write about things that comes to my mind ♥️

[GSPTeck]

Other than programming I love music, listening and playing. I play guitar. I also have 4 songs on Spotify and iTunes!
I also play soccer every once and a while.

[Rod Fetalvero]

I play guitar and listen to music specially metal.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

That's awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Will love to hear you and I love music too. It's relaxes your mind ♥️

[GSPTeck]

💯💯 If you feel like listening to my music, look up Justin Beiber on Spotify or iTunes. Not that great only have a couple million streams 🤣
This is me: open.spotify.com/artist/4dqVv2wwdo...

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Very funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and if you want to listen me search Justin Timberlake on any music stream platform.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Jokes apart, love your Another Minute or Two. That's guitar is soothing ♥️

[GSPTeck]

Thanks man ♥️♥️

[barbaroja19]

At the moment I enjoy:

• Family time
• Math
• Reading (Lutheran theology, philosophy, sci-fi/fantasy)
• Puzzle and Indie Games

I spend a lot of time inside my own head. Thankfully my family pulls me out from time to time.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

I also love maths and family is the strength that motivates us to keep going 🔥🔥🔥

[barbaroja19]

Absolutely! Don't know where I would be without my wife and little one.

But what maths are you currently studying? I'm focusing on working my way back through Calculus at the moment. I'm hoping to go for a master's in applied stats soon so I need to build up the fundamentals.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Great man keep learning and progressing 🔥🔥🔥

[Charanjit Chana]

Lockdown actually gave me the time to be able to get something new out. For the longest time I have admired illustrators and decided to give it a go. I started with brush pens and have discovered a lot over the course of 2020. My kids have enjoyed using the brush pens too and I’ve started using watercolour pencils to see how they work for me. There’s so much to learn and practice on and I recently started an online illustration course.

I’m also trying my hand at learning to use vector design tools, for illustrations, designs and icons.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Lockdown has gave us time to think and focus on ourselves. We learn and tried new things during this period. Personally I learn

• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe After Effects
• React
• During this I also started to write on D dev.to i.e, here.

[Charanjit Chana]

As hard as the year has been, there have been some silver linings. Like you said, we have had the time focus on ourselves which for me and my family was long overdue.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Yesss, if you converted bad time into goodt one then we have something good out of lockdown.

[Jason C. McDonald]

I love writing! I write mysteries and other fiction, as well as programming books.

I'm also a songwriter and solo pianist composer.

And I spend probably more time than is healthy playing Minecraft, and sometimes making data packs for it.

Besides all of that, I like cooking and baking, and gardening if I have the opportunity. I'd like to get back into raising chickens one of these days too...but I have to have the space to do that, and an apartment doesn't oblige that pursuit.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Minecraft is one of my favourite game. I would love to read your stories ♥️

[Jason C. McDonald]

Links inline for my books. If you like, please leave reviews. (They really do help!)

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Yep ♥️

[Zen]

Writing blog

Yes, writing code in blog. Hehehehhe...

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Learn, code and write

[Zen]

Hi, it's my new blog about code:

my-code.surge.sh

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

I will check it definitely ♥️

[Valentin Baca]

My primary hobby is playing Magic: the Gathering. I play practically every major MtG format but I absolutely love Cube drafting.

My other hobbies include:

• Exercise, especially weightlifting. Deadlifts are my absolute favorite!
• Reading, basically all non-fiction. Usually tech/programming but I also like topics like Existentialism, pop-psych, Stoicism, & social-justice.
• Video Games, mostly Ark Survival Evolved with my best friend on our private heavily modded server. I also love my Switch; been playing Hades and Ori.
• Star Wars RPG. FantasyFlight Games has a spectacular custom dice system for role-playing and I've been playing a campaign with friends for over 4 years now.
• "Lazy" Gardening: I've got some raised plots in my backyard and like to just scatter seeds and see what grows without upkeep! Kale, carrots, and potatoes are particularly hearty crops.

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

We love to see magic and you have lot of good hobbies 🔥🔥🔥

[Mitch Pomery (he/him)]

I like making things, where things is a very broad category.

Things I have made this year:

• Serving boards out of recycled pallets
• An outdoor chair and toy chest that live on our apartments shared lawn
• A sandbox (for the same lawn)
• Upcycled a table into a coffee table out of more recycled pallets
• Monitor shelf for my desk
• A Hurdy Gurdy (Musical instrument) following the Nerdy Gurdy Plans
• A 3.5M Long Snake that I knitted on my circular loom
• A ~3M long scarf (also done on the circular loom)
• Knitted several Christmas stockings
• A wooden six pack holder
• Lots of boxes (mainly for storing tools) out of scraps at the makerspace
• A networked "On Air" sign that turns on and off when OBS is recording (okay there was a little programming for this one and I'm writing a post about it)
• Some Christmas Ornaments
• Attempted to make some mechanical earrings
• A chocolate wheel (the spinning wheels from game shows)
• Probably more that I've forgotten about

And when I'm not busy making things I enjoy hanging out in my friends streams, chilling with my partner on the couch watching shows, and tending to our balcony garden (which has three jacarandas that are nearly a year old, and a planter with three rockmelon plants in it, plus a smattering of other plants).

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Such a nice man that you make things out of recycled things and early merry Christmas for all your efforts 💖
