This is where I am- about the same time frame. He’s right guys. If you’re like me you’ll have to learn the hard way anyway, even if you wholeheartedly agree with the concept. But it doesn’t really sink in until you’ve blown through your youth staring at a screen.https://twitter.com/BenLesh/status/1198755385760501760 …

I don't think I'd be doing anything in the time I'm not coding. "Spend time with your loved ones" sounds cool but I don't live with my family ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I’d be tempted to say the same thing. But then I realize- oh wait...I just gradually stopped doing things I genuinely liked because they were “a waste of time”. I even stopped reading fiction because it wasn’t informing me lol. I know I’m not alone on that.

Ah I see. Then I guess my situation is different, I do stuff I like! Like coding.
Jokes aside, for the last 6 months I've spent at least 3 hours/day doing stuff that's not directly work related and I feel like my work life balance has improved. -
I'm aware that most people can't find 3 hours off work to basically do different kinds of work tho.

But you are also developing a really awesome creative tool that will stimulate the creation of more work than you can imagine. Thank you for your sacrifice so that the world could have Deoldify.

Thanks. Yeah really I’m thinking over the last 20 or so years of life being optimized for being an good coder. The past year, though tough, has been the most rewarding for sure. It’s not all bad. It’s just I caution others in the field from being extreme about it.
