"But why is that your only aim? If you learn baking or woodworking, you don't expect to become a 6-figure baker or carpenter in 3-months. Why do you give coding the same pressure? Why can't it be for the joy of making something beautiful?" Three reasons: 1. I personally know people making 6-figures coding, and some of them got their start with just 3-months of coding. I don't know anyone making 6-figures baking or in carpentry. I don't worry about making money baking, because I already know that I won't. So if I do some woodworking, I don't worry about if it will bring me a step closer. Because there is no path to step on. :P 2. I work 12-hours a day at something I hate. Coding is fun, but until I get the job in coding, I only get to have "fun" on lunch break and weekends. Pain/pressure now, more fun later. Get the coding job and I can work on coding for 12-hours a day, accelerating my learning. 3. I can't pay rent in fun. I can't buy food with "something beautiful." These are nice, but ultimately not important for the goal. Once the goal is met, they'll be nice luxuries. But more importantly... why is it a dichotomy? Why can't coding for fun ALSO get you a job? If you're not enjoying it, you'll code less. And less code won't get you a job.

Could not agree more. Thanks for the message. I am a 60-year-old in another profession (completely unrelated to STEM) and I've been coding on and off for about 12 years. At first it was to change professions but I could not manage that transition in an economically viable way because the learning curve toward employment as a programmer was too steep and, frankly, I'm not what you would call a "gifted programmer." But now I just keep plugging away at it when I have the time because it is fun and interesting and creative.

As much as I agree coding should not be of this much pressure, the sheer amount of technologies one has to learn or will learn is a bit scary. I think the idea that coding is ever evolving, one has to learn in certain constraints of time and technology as the plan is always to work with a team which follows a certain methodologies like agile or something else. This leads to changing the way they code and re-learn certain aspects of their coding process. A baker doesn't necessarily have to worry about that, if they can bake at the best of their ability they can join a bakery and start working. They will learn certain bakery specific principles on the go without needing to change the way they bake.

Because some people need to support families or are running out of time before the responsibility is shifted onto them. If the economy is f*cked in the US or other first world countries then amplify that f*cked-ness by a few to dozen times on other places. But I do get your point. It is a great point. I lost my passion for coding, which was the reason I wanted to pursue this as a career, because of life pressure and im trying my best to get it back by coding for fun whenever I have some spare time

But for a while now I have been chasing money and fame and its been killing me inside seeing others become millionaires daily. But now I wanna go back to my first love. I'm going to work hard and finish up with high school at the top of my class and then I'll apply at the best tech colleges (and my dream college Stanford cause hey its in the silicon valley why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone) and after all that , most defiantly I'll have all I ever needed to become THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD .

I think people needing to get their money just makes it a rat race, it stops being about learning. And that's the paradox, most likely if you view it as just ajob you'll quit after some time because of burnout. Or live your whole working life miserably. That's what the point is, at least i think that. I know it's hard when you got people depending on you, but just building fun stuff on the side is what makes you actually like the coding, the research, the topics, and so the problems at work merge into the things you research or do sometimes for fun. Another thing is, don't do it for fun everyday if you clearly see it's not fun, it will just speed up the misery. I only started liking my job and coding, and being happier in general when i started to build something on the side. (I did ONE session of 1-2 hours every 15-30 days, it's not much, but the key is to do it when your curiosity sparks, don't force it). Anyway those are my tips as a software dev for 3/4 years who actually started to like coding this year haha.

For me, the answer to that is precisely because there's such a huge industry around it, everyone's grandma who quilts isn't trying to "make it big in the quilting game" , but for economic reasons the software industry has become this over hyped "big deal", its that vibe that makes it hard for me to just enjoy, every tutorial is about interviews, or certain types of projects to build not because they are fun but because they look good on a resume "build a Netflix clone" guess what, I have absolutely ZERO use for that, also it's hard to put the standard things you are taught in context, can someone actually explain why we should know how to sort a list 20 different ways, other than knowing recursion exists, I am never going to need to write the tower of hanoi again, and yes, I know that all of that algorithms knowledge is eventually useful for optimization and stuff but my point is exactly that "eventually useful" I learned all of that theory and yet, i don't mind admitting, I've never actually written an actually useful GUI app that I myself would use, apologies for the rant, but I just wanna be able to make cool shit, not for an employer, not even for my own business, but just because, it's hard to maintain that kind of "for the hell of it" passion when everything is so money centric. -Unemployed CS graduate from a few years ago.
