What is your hobby AND WHY? ??

...? Sorry? I’m not straight. No hubby for me, and no, I’m not in the market.

Oh, hobby!
None. I’m not a filthy casual.

What makes this memorable? The stress on why?

Programming used to be my hobby, kind of still is, but it's slowly but surely turning into my job and I fucking hate it so far. I miss having fun programming, go kinda got me going on side projects again but I doubt it's going to last (hopefully it does).

So if we consider programming as my job, I don't have any hobbies. I'd like to buy a shit box and turn it into a track car (kind of a dream of mine, actually), but car stuff is expensive where I live and I don't have a lot of money. Hopefully I'll be able to get out of this retarded country in a few years and be able to afford a track car.

I also wanted to learn how to draw, but I don't have time for that (work + school + side project). Hopefully in July I'll have some more time on my hands.

What's yours?

Oh shit I just realized this was a question you were asked on an interview, not a question to the devrant community. My bad. Oh well, I'm not deleting my comment, it took a lil effort to write it so I'm gonna keep it.

@AtuM
That is the official standard answer you get from the ones that prepared by googling "interview questions best answers".

@AtuM Pro Tip: take up something that involves teamwork and / or social responsibility.

That's something many interviewers consider a good thing, plus, you can grab some karma and do something for the community.

Programming, archery, medieval reenactment.

@Voxera Medieval Reenactment? That sounds really cool, you mean like those medieval fairs?

Cooking, because It's fun

@ilPinguino maybe she kills and tortures people in the ways that were common those times. Watch out.

@electrineer Well, that was a job these days too.

I mean, there's a reason why folks call it the dark age.

(then again, we could bring that back for idiotic IT managers. Talk too much shit, you get a round in the brazen bull).

When I get a reliable source of income I'll buy an electric guitar and write digital effects on a raspi. I already started but the guitar was borrowed and the owner needed it back.

@ilPinguino yes, in Sweden we have one in visby each year. One week long :)

@electrineer Well we did have a device usually used to keep prisoners on display in the town square that was quite popular for photos ;)

But I usually focus on archery.

I brew beer 🍻

My hobbies, on and off:

Electronics, rocket science, home construction, drug synthesis, botany & phytogenetics, flying glider planes, cooking, hiking & climbing, and being drunk 🍷

Well, I'm a programmer, so my primary hobby is bitching about programming

Uh, bit of videogames, bit of TV, pretty involved in my church, volunteer as a sound engineer

I just realised you were responding to the weekly question.

@homo-lorens 🥲

Developing mods, software, et catera for old, outdated games of many years past.

@fuwn but WHY?

@electrineer Mostly for the challenge of it. I enjoy reverse-engineering their networks stacks and inner workings. Not to mention, the nostalgia of revisiting these older titles.
