I grew up cutting lawns, doing landscaping with my Dad. Now I'm in a 9 - 5 job, I often dream of simply escaping this programming world, growing something, and applying my IT skills to get the best of both worlds.
It feels like I'm missing the world, by being behind a computer 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. In the end, it all just doesn't seem very fulfilling.
Programming has always been a passion, and a hobby. I always wonder if I've made the mistake of combining it with a career.
I agree completely. I used to get excited when I saw a new framework or language out and would always download it, play with it, etc. Now I just think "another one? I hope I don't have to learn that one day."
Maybe I just need a break to get my enthusiasm back. But it's going to have to be a lot longer than two weeks. It's a shame, because I worked really hard to get into the software industry in the first place.
