When I take on new hobbies, I have to resist making an app for them.

Sure, making apps for your hobbies can be a great way to come up with something that solves a real problem, but the issue is that it takes away time spent simply doing said hobby.

I seek out hobbies to diversify my life, not to make money or do programming 24/7. Early in my career that was great, but over time I realize that there’s more to life than software development.

Can you give some examples of this? I would be curious what your thinking is like.

I was surprised how much I like it. Although it can be a bit hand wavy at times, there’s something entertaining about a smartass making people with bad intentions look stupid.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this good about a game developer. In a time where there’s so many cash grabs and half-baked early access titles, it’s awesome to see FromSoft approaching development of these games as a craft.
