      Umm, there are regularly coding race events here where I live…

      Coding can be hobby as well, you know.

      Not all of this world is pure capitalism, some have some free time doing stuff they want how they want.

      Coding is not my profession (right now)

          😄 why would someone not make his hobby his profession?

          I have never coded as major part of profession, yet, but I am on the way there.

            I did it. Stopped being a hobby because after work you will be tired of it, it’s not healthy to code more. All you are doing is giving up what you code for money, and that’s sweet, but eventually it is eroding to be told how and what to code which kills the fun, especially if you adhere to efficiency frameworks and work really hard

        Coding is a team sport bcz it takes a lot of people to maintain large complex systems, has nothing to do with capitalism. Hell, I make video games in my spare time, and can barely manage a half asked attempt at a game for fun when working alon (unless I want to spend a lot of time on it). Alternatively, I can make a decently playable game with a few more people helping me. Coding is just a lot of work if you want to make anything substantial, just how it is.
