Is coding a hobby for you? Or is it work? For me its a hobby! What about you?

for me it pays my bills

It started as a hobby then moved to work.

currently a hobby. I'm trying to turn it into work

Work. Definitely work. It was a hobby years ago, but now I only code in my freetime if a personal project absolutely demands it.

Both, but very different types of projects.

100% hobby, I don't work yet

Work. And sometimes hobby.

hobby / learning with intent to make a work relationship

100% both

@karwler same here

Started as work, became a hobby too for personal projects (or when I'm helping a friend code some website)

@DLMousey Ah, the words of someone yet to hit 'burn out' XD

Pure hobby for now as I'm still learning, but who knows what the future holds...

Both. My job keeps me very busy but still have my own side projects that I enjoy.

It started as a hobby and now I'm trying to make it my daily job :)

Hobby, but sometimes work. I use to create some tools, scripts and VBA macros on my work to help everyone.

for me it's a skill and a tool. whether it's hobby or work depends on the specific project

For me it's both because it plays with all my emotions.

It's a hobby and side job for me right now but I hope to do it full time when I'm older.

Code is life

Yes

Booth, its my life through and through. I even have 400 hours in TIS-100 and ShenzenIO (Games where you code) my diary is full of sketches and architecture ideas and prototypes. And yes i still have friends and a wife xD

For me it's my choice about what I want to do in the future.

In between?

Work, and sometimes a hobby too. But I'm a bit busy with other parts of my life now.

It's not work work yet but it will be when I graduate. 3d modeling is a hobby

Hobby that turned into a job that's still a hobby. Sometimes it's a pain but overall I love it.

Does studying computer science count as work?
I don't have a it related job on the side.

It's a passion!

I love it and am happy it also allows me to pay my bills.

Hobby for now.

Both!
It pays the pills, then I come home after a long day hunched over a keyboard and spend more time hunched over a keyboard

@Ahzed11 welcome to devrant! Keep on going strong and coding will change your life. Best of luck!

@DLMousey Not quite burn out. Work 70+ hours a week, without a holiday for 10 years, and every project is like that. Now just keep that up with the dawning realisation that you no longer know what you'd do even if you had time off, you're alienated from all your friends and family due to the long hours and obscure nature of your work, and you can't relate to your co-workers because the built up cynicism (and quietly increasing PTSD) clashes too strongly with their innocent enthusiasm for the work that is slowly killing you.
When you get to the point that every moment even thinking about work is physically and emotionally painful, and you can see no way to change any of it; That's burnout.

Both!
