How does it feel like coding for 5yrs straight, every weekday, any mental dissociation? Does the drive still remain the same 😅

3 years here, still same. Probably because of luck and nice tech stack.

@hack what's your stack

@adan its a bit complicated. We use microservice architecture with different languages and tools. java spring (8, 11, 17), kotlin spring, webflux, couchbase, elasticsearch, some nodejs scripts, python for apache airflow, gonna use golang soon, vuejs and many more 3rd party tools (docker, kubernetes, graylog, grafana etc.)

5 years, various projects, mostly Java Backend stuff but I'm also working on some PHP and personal projects.

the drive fluctuates, I went through a burnout or too as well, but eventually I always rebound back to full motivation. I still love programming just as much as I did when I started

It's fun as long as shit jobs don't burn you out

If the drive stays the same: That's entirely up to you.

18 years so far, and still enjoying it.
