Either for a living or for the fun (I can’t imagine that it’s possible to do it for fun really).

Coding (or total career change)
#2

I remember it being the most fun I’d ever had when I was 11. And within three days of Christmas that year I was already a better coder than half the people in my dev team are now.

#3

Yup (at work). A bit of Java (lots of Spring Boot/Cloud stuff) & some frontend stuff (Angular/Typescript mainly these days)

#4

Did a brief evening course in C++ and do some very, very basic code work at times at work

#5

I’ve either been promoted out of a code writing position OR I am no longer trusted to commit code. You decide.

I’m going to write some code now though and they can’t stop me.

Kinda, but more in a data science context than in front-end development. My highest degree of expertise is VBA, which is not the most useful thing in the world. Doing more in R at the moment which I’m genuinely enjoying.

i do, did you have a question?

#8

Yeah I do it for a living. And I will do it for fun if the fun is fun enough.

I did this a while back just to test out some PHP things I wanted to try

Yeah I do it for a living. Not so much for fun, though I wish I did more outside of work

#10

what exactly do they trust you to do there?

#11

I can get the boss coffee.
I can attend meetings as long as I don’t say anything.
Sometimes I do a little dance around the office to make people laugh.

No questions, it’s that I knew a few people on here did but we never really talk about it. I code too, or at least I’m supposed to with my job but for various reasons there isn’t really much development to do in work anymore.

#15

I do, for a living. I’m an old mainframe dinosaur though so it’s Cobol and Natural. I have dabbled with html and javascript. But it’s never done for fun, just to pay the bills!

iSeries?

I have become so rusty, I just don’t keep on top of it and haven’t done for years. Doing some preparation last night for something has reminded me of this. I was thinking, it would’ve been so easy to keep up to scratch if I’d wanted, so why haven’t I? There was one thing I did recently which I did genuinely enjoy, for the OU astrophysics course, we had to make a composite spectrum of quasars, filtering out the quasars you wanted, downloading all the data and then importing to excel to make the composite. It took ages to do by hand, I wrote some java which hit their database, ran sql and did the rest. It was great because it meant you could play around, for instance I was able to pull out quasars with low emissions in certain lines, see how their overall composite looked and compare it to normal quasars.
