Do many people hobby code with that entrepreneur mindset thing? Or sit down to play guitar thinking they want to make a hit and feeling bad if they just noodle some cover songs? What a miserable existence that must be. How do you get that way? Should we blame LinkedIn or what is it?

When I was younger, early in my career, I coded to learn more about what I was doing at work. Pure career progression.

The older I get, the less I care about career progression and the more I allow myself to just use code to explore thoughts or ideas.
