    Yep, two days ago, I closed my work laptop, because I was tired of coding, then half an hour later, I saw myself picking up my own laptop to continue on a side-project. Had to stop myself there, because it does not help with the exhaustion.

    I decided to make some music instead, which is thankfully something completely different. 🙃

    Since even all the left-handed people I know use the mouse with the right hand, it’s super weird for me seeing someone using the mouse with the left hand.

        FreshLight thinks you’re super weird.

      My parents use both in (not at the same time) to avoid rsi

    Guys, I think Marx might have been onto something with the theory of alienation.

    This hits hard.

    Not that I don’t like my job, just that I love my costly side-project more.

    Work takes all the fun out of coding for me. I haven’t touched a side project for a year.

      I spend hours toiling at work, then I finish work and switch to my hobby project, on the same desk/peripherals (KVM switch), same IDE and same tech stack, and work on it full of energy and finding it fun.

      I have no clue why this works for me.

        It has to just be interest, right?

          Probably. Extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation.

        I think for me it’s the scale of my work projects and lack of deep interest in the projects themselves. Hobby projects get started because I have some kind of interest that I want to expand on by writing some code. For instance, RF and aviation are two interests and I recently wrote an ADSB message decoder with a map kind of like flightradar24 does. That’s super interesting to me, so writing that code is fun. It’s also way smaller of a project than my work projects.

      Yeah, that’s awesome. What kind of programming do you do (or is it something else?).

        I write developer tools. When I was doing web stuff I hated my job.

    Haha for me it’s totally different. I accepted my side projects will never be the new Facebook or Google. But I am quite confident I can do really good stuff on work. So there is where my power kicks in.

    How about playing games with programming instead…

      Have you considered truck driving or carpentry?

    For me it’s the opposite. No money no deal.
