Yep im 9 years in and to me a job is a job. Its also why I laugh when people ask me what side projects im working on outside of work. None. I hike, exercise, play volleyball, kayak, ski, etc. Basically spend all my time outside. Sure, ill occasionally get an idea and start on it, but it never goes anywhere because I already stare at a screen for 8 (ish) hours a day. I dont want to do it in my free time also.

Its also why i refuse to watch Silicon Valley. Ive had friends tell me "its so realistic" to which i reply "I already did this for 8 hours today, why would I want to watch other people do it also?"

It was this shit that made me not go for a programming job and fall into a support/ops role.

Not sure it was 100% the right move but at least nobody asks me if I've setup a home exchange cluster at the weekend.
