This is why whatever time I still spend programming is (a) on useless nonsense, and (b) comes with explicit warnings that I don't look at issues or accept PRs. If you want to use my stuff, that's absolutely awesome, please go ahead — just don't ask me ...

Somehow I don't think this is a three-month project...

Anyway, writing code for fun has definitely helped me recover from some of the worst toxicity I encountered in tech.
I don't need to prove to anyone that I can develop software to a professional standard of quality. I've done it, and I'm proud of it. No one can take that away from me.
But I also don't *need* to write to that level of quality. If I don't feel like writing unit tests, I just don't. This is a hobby.

@xgranade Did you at any point in tech lose your motivation for writing code for fun?

@datarama Yes. Absolutely.

@xgranade Mine has absolutely cratered - but that's less about my job (which I'm happy at) and more about the state of tech in general.
Coding used to be my own little refuge from the terrors of the world; now it feels like a grim reminder of the terrors of the world.
