That feeling of wanting to walk away from coding forever and not having a single thing to do with it ever again, but also having nothing else you can do and a powerful need to eat and have shelter.

Solution for me: Save more than enough “fuck you money” to be able to say no when it comes to undesired tasks. I have said no to software test task, mandatory overtimes, even sometimes came late to job when there were nothing to do. Thinking on early retirement.

Is it your job you hate or coding itself?

@aviophile ah yes pursuing FIRE. Me too!

Get out of my head.

@gibus I’ve never been very good at coding. I do it up to where I get stuck and then I hire a freelancer to help with the rest. Most of what I do involves non-coding management of websites, content, design, etc. Very little original coding. But when I do have to do it, I hate it.

@stackodev What would you do instead?

@gibus I kinda want to get into literally anything space-related. That was what I began in at the outset but life had other plans. I’d even be a janitor at SpaceX if they’re hiring one.

Am I weird for not having this feeling at all? Is it just because I'm a Ruby developer?
