I was scrolling through my dev.to feed, and I saw many posts relating to programming jobs.
I started coding when I was 11, and I’ve been using it as a hobby since.
Do you program for a job or as a hobby?

That's great!
Used to be both but there are better hobbies
damn...
It's not a bad idea to enjoy what you do but when it creeps into your free time then you know it might be a problem, when can you rest, because rest clears down your memory like a human GC
What am I doing tonight? Programming ✋😅
yea i get you
lmao
Haha, like that human GC expression, it's indeed true :) one should know when a hobby should be paused (short term). Otherwise it's too much positive stress, which can end bad, too, although one enjoyed it.
It’s been a hobby for about twenty years. Every now and then I make a few bucks with it though.
that's cool!
As my career has progressed, the actual coding part is more of a hobby. There have been times when it has been both, and occasionally just a job.
That's cool!
I started programming as a hobby but now im looking to land a job with it
Nice!
Both. The context on coding at work is very different to the context when doing something by your own.
Ah okay
Both. For my job I write and maintain Ruby on Rails codebases. For my hobby, I hack on Emacs or Hugo.
Nice!
Programming is my job. I started when I was 15 and it was a hobby for me then.
That makes sense
I look at programming as a hobby but I also want to earn money and have a job
Same!
Both. Started as a hobby (when I was 10), became a job, turned into a career.
Great!
I started programming as something that I would develop as a skill cause I was bored during the pandemic but now it became a hobby for me and probably a job in the future.
That's great!
Both it started as a job and now its a hobby
Nice!
Started as Job. Slowly but surly has took over as a hobby as well.
That's cool!
It's taking over a little to much. 😅
Damn
Hobby
Cool
I program as a job (well, one of my jobs), but more so as a hobby. My job isn’t directly about programming, but I use alot of workflows that optimize my work. I’m really into automation. So, I find it all fun and exciting.
That's cool! One of your jobs?
Yes. I’m a missionary first, freelancer second. Most of my freelance work is with Tutsplus.com.
Damn that’s so cool!
