I too enjoy actually writing code. I feel fortunate that I was able to make a career out of something I enjoy so much. I am not sure that most people had that experience. Alas, it seems like the industry is paying me to set up guardrails and supervise AI agents. I am not sure how long this will last, but at least I know that I will always be able to enjoy programming as a hobby if nothing else.
Yeah, I think it used to be like that, then because programming paid a lot everyone started wanting those jobs even if they didn't like actual programming.
I'm glad you have enjoyed it as a career. I never even tried -- I have a dumb rule that I won't do anything I truly love for work. I guess because I don't want others ruining it. lol
It's a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I have much less time and patience for personal software projects. I prefer to do carpentry or sports as a change of pace. On the bright side though, the experience I've gained from working professionally makes the projects I do tackle go much more smoothly than when I was an amateur.
