Would you still want to be a dev 10 years from now?

Probably, can't say for sure.

Based on the way I've been going now? Definitely.

Yes! And I want to have more trainees who I teach.

In 10 years I'll be trapped in the comfort zone, and in 20 years (50y old) I cry why I can't find a job because I lived 10 years in the comfort zone.

let's hope that this doesn't happen to us, life and Interessts change and this is good. 🙂

As a hobby? yes.
As a full time job? I'm not sure.

Dev in general, sure I think I can survive another 10 years of this ever changing mayhem.

Yes!!!!

As a hobby, yes
I am kinda hoping that my online video / music sharing group keeps gaining popularity. If it does, than running it would probably get me enough money to not need a job... If not, I might sell my soul to Google.

In ten years time I probably won't even be able to drink a cup of tea without dribbling it down my front

@AlexDeLarge - 73

In ten years time I'll be ... oh, hang on, we've run out of fingers and toes here at the old folks home ... I can only get up to sixty ... you'll have to wait until the nurse arrives.

@AlexDeLarge - just a hobby I took up after retiring from the capitalist grind. I only have five years experience of GNU/Linux, and only two years experience of bash scripting. I love it, though. New challenges are good for keeping young.

I want to be a manager. A cool manager.

DEVinitely Yes!

Hell yeah!!

Until death do us apart 💀

For sure! Company I work at grows every year and the work I do is amazing!

If you asked me that question a year ago I would've answered with a resounding "hell yes!". Now my passion has shifted. Although I still love development, especially in my current job, I'm hoping in 10yrs I'll be retired and it would just be a hobby.

@angeltoast that is amazing! Nice to meet you!

Yes. Do I want to be involved with online communities of developers? Probably not. To me what kills subjects or whatever is not the subject itself....it is the people. I am tired of hearing about pseudo coders dissing out tech, bitching to one another about dumbshit or being elitist on things that they have no control of (security, operating systems, languages) and I am generally dissatisfied with most. People can ruin a perfect job if you let them of course. But when you make it your profession and you have to deal with them well..might as well just disconnect from shit y know?

@AleCx04 I actually find the programmer's community very inviting.
I first studied 2 years of marketing, where it felt much more like everyone for themselves.

Programmers help each other, are open to discussions and actually know what they're talking about.
Becoming a programmer was very inviting to me because when I ran into something, enough people were open to help.

My only issue is the occasional cocky programmer who believes he's the best and thinks he knows everything.

@Kage have you any professional experience? And I ask in the nicest way possible.

@AleCx04 not much, only spent one year within a company.
