It's easy to do when we're all surrounded constantly by the paradox of money meaning nothing at all, but also the only material thing that dictates the action and activity of everything past and future
Biggest Pill I've had to swallow is that no matter much I love programming and will continue my computer hobbies for life. I will never make a profession out of it. I'm slowly coping with the fact that all my work will ultimately influence very nearly nothing at all...
On the other hand I have found a lot of people who turn the hobby they love into a business and it ruins the joy they found in their hobby.
That is certainly a bright side of the matter isn't it. Maybe keeping the joy alive is more critical than the bread?
I feel you. I think about how intangible code is and how quickly that will fade from existence... It's heavy, to say the least. And yet the challenge ever calls me to solve a problem with ones and zeroes.
