Comment on Ask HN: Are you as passionate as you used to be?

Comments

No. Not about programming, anyway.

I was passionate about programming when I didn't do it 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week, most weeks of the year. It was a fun, new thing and I could spend my free time on it. Now, I spend most of the day on it and want to do something else when I clock out. Also, I already have some trainings on the job and anyway we're always trying something new so I already learn technical stuff anyway.

A couple of times a year I have some non work-related problems and decide to solve them coding stuff, but I still view them as chores, as much as changing a lightbulb or painting the porch.
