Just realised I've been writing code in one way or another for nearly 30 years 🤯

I'd say today I'm much less in love with the coding part of code, though I still love the magical way it allows me to create things and make my ideas real.

@robhawkes at least for me I loved the creation and the building, coding while being fun it's the ideas and the opportunity that satisfied me

@paul Yeah same for me, it's always been the creativity and turning ideas into things that didn't exist before which appealed to me. It took me a long time to realise that though, I struggled to let go of the coding aspect up until the last year or so really.

@robhawkes same.
