    I'm curious - I still love to code but I also love to do other stuff in my spare time (when I get any!). What do you guys do and, if you could, would you swap coding for your primary hobby if you could make money?

    Genealogical research and science fiction. No, I prefer to keep my hobbies as hobbies.

    Ad astra - both ways!

      Volunteer on a heritage railway (portering and loco restoration); wildlife + environmental stuff. Not sure I'd want to do anything on a full-time basis, but it would be nice to be paid for doing stuff I really enjoy. Though as others say, once you get paid for it and have to go to "work" then I think almost anything would lose some of its shine.

        Recent time, I'm tired of coding & really don't want to code much anymore at work. It's been 14+ years. Ofcourse it's not that much long as I have seen coders with 30+ years exp. even in CP. I think current era making things crazy on coding to me. So planning to move away from coding. BTW I have babies[^] & 'll take care of them. Apart from work personally I'm planning to create utilities(Freeware/Opensource). And I don't want to use big softwares for development. I want to use lightweight applications like Electron[^] or NW.js[^].

            I've Draw anime/furry art, Blacksmith, Dick around with electronics, muck around with music, 3d print, play PC games, build computers,mod games etc.... I am of the firm opinion that i should have a life span of 800 years and that the day should have 36 hours so i can get all the hobby time i need

                Karate, trick roping, gun spinning, whip cracking, fire whips, fire staff spinning, fire poi spinning, fire breathing, reading. Yes I would probably swap... :-D

                      I play Bass, but I wouldn't want to get paid for anything I do purely for enjoyment, the moment you do that it becomes work not fun... (I learnt that with electronics and programming!)

                              PLUGH! XYZZY! Dredging my memory for the first version I played. It was written in FORTRAN as I recall, ported from DEC-something to Interdata 32bit. Late 1970s? Played on a TTY so you could cheat by looking back to previous runs. One of my colleagues mapped the cave on about 6 sheets of 11x15 line printer paper. He had immense trouble with the "all alike" maze. ;P ;P Cheers, Peter

                              We played on a TI Mini back around 1979 - after work every night some of us would stay back and play. Then I discovered how to send a message to another terminal and we tortured one of the guys by occasionally sending 'A small dwarf with bags of gold runs past you to the west' messages while he was playing ;)

                                Playing guitar and drink beer, yes I would switch if I could earn what I do coding to play guitar and drink beer with the same guys playing what we do now. I like what I do, but if I could code for a hobby, maybe I could enjoy it more. :)

                                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                    I do some coding in my spare time (arduino stuff, a bit of this and that) and I used to spend a lot of my spare time riding my motorcycle, but since getting knocked off about 5 years ago I haven't really gt around to replacing the 'bike. These days I spend most of my spare time volunteering at my local amateur theatre on the lighting crew. Nine shows a year, each lasting two weeks per month, keeps us pretty busy.

                                      Besides privateering, biking and photography are some of my hobbies. In a former life I even was a professional photographer :cool:

                                        I'm curious - I still love to code but I also love to do other stuff in my spare time (when I get any!). What do you guys do and, if you could, would you swap coding for your primary hobby if you could make money?

                                        Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer. The End

                                        Unfortunately I chose a hobby of Continuous Improvement. The benefit to my primary job has been great... And luckily I have photos of my family... I am confident I would recognize most of them in a lineup. :laugh:
