As someone who got into coding much later in life without going to school for CS or anything even related, I don't really like it or even know wtf I'm doing half the time. I'm just here to pay rent and make sure my partner and I can live without any other support
I wouldn't give up the money I make to do something I enjoy because anything I enjoy would be ruined by making it into a job. I fucking hate having to work and I don't know how anyone who understands the nature of capitalism can even imagine themselves enjoying working in the US. I used to work for a university and went to grad school for psychology (dropped out at the end), which is what I would probably be doing if I didn't live in a nightmare hellworld that makes it almost impossible to pursue meaningful work and pay rent at the same time
Edit: you could always start a company of your own and give me a job
