I agree, which is why it drives me crazy to be on HN and see people be like "if you want to work as a programmer you must live breathe eat sleep code and have a resume of Github commits three miles long."

It's a job, not a religion.



Seems like an unrelated (maybe even opposite direction) complaint. Plenty of autists are obsessed with programming and technology.


10 hour day in the terminal just to come over here and find this! Me obsessed? Hell yes!

It’s my personal escapism from the everydayness of existence.


Boy, that's a straight shooter with upper management written all over him!


For some people it's a job.

For others it's a calling.

Nothing wrong with either - I just think it's worth being aware that people have different motivations.
