I’m sort of the same as you.
I took a 6 bootcamp, got a job straight away after as a full stack junior web developer.
Programming as a job was the single worst decision I make. I was working with languages and frameworks I don’t enjoy, I was building a product I don’t care about in the slightest.
It took me 1 year of full time web dev before I quit and went back to regular IT which isn’t the most fun thing, but it works for me. I’ve been doing it for over a decade so I can do it in my sleep, it’s easy money tbh. Programming for me is definitely more of a hobby than a job. Having it as a job really killed my love for it
Nowadays I only code in Python which I LOVE. I use my programming skills to automate work tasks, and I make small scripts here and there and it’s so much fun.
Solving small problems with scripts is just what I enjoy doing. I get to work on a project for a day or two. I can complete it fast then move on to something else.
Now I’m about transitioning into Data Engineering instead of Software Development.
The EU keeps big companies from taking advantage of their monopoly. Seems fair to me that the EU can step in and smack their fingers from time to time.
