< how did you start dev (for those who do)?
do you still do/like dev now?
I do! I'm coming up on 3 years since my first developer position after graduating. I'm at a startup and I'm the primary application developer, so I have more opportunity to experiment and play and control what I do, which makes the job quite a bit more enjoyable.
I daydream about personal programming projects but I don't frequently end up finding the energy to work on them. I spend all day coding, after all, and I don't need to be doing it all of my waking hours.
