I used to dabble in coding. Never done it professionally. To be a full time developer would probably kill me, I remember constantly thinking of how to build this or that function, or how to do a certain thing, or why something keeps failing. I'd constantly be thinking these things, in the shower, while brushing my teeth, while driving, it was making me insane. Don't think I could do it professionally.
Well, the second I clock out I'll stop thinking about how to solve a coding problem for work.
(Instead I'll start thinking about how to solve a coding problem for a ~~never to be finished~~ hobby project.)
This seems more likely thinking about it, before I was doing coding as a hobby. If I was working on something at work that I wasn't particularly passionate about I may not obsess as much.
