hehehehe... Don't get me wrong, I like challenges... :) They can be a great source of motivation and I like to dare myself with some huge ones... But, programming would be a constant challenge, changing from task to task, and that creates great stress (at least, for me)... Also, that moves the focus from one thing to another, very fast, which is again one of the things that aren't in my "vocabulary"... 😂
I have a couple of good (childhood) friends who are programmers and I truly admire them for their discipline and skills... But, after 15-20 years in coding, they have learned to disconnect, which is the only way you can keep your sanity... lol... I suppose that that comes with getting older and getting older sucks... 😜
Good luck with Python!
I agree on getting older sucks, suddenly there are more responsibilities and sometimes time just goes by quickly. I think it's why I see a lot of older programmers and dev who work remotely too because again, it's really nice when they can code during the day and have some fun on the weekend at the beach or the clubs. But starting out, I guess, a better environment would be needed than the beach side co-working space. Cheers!
