Software is my second career BTW, I only started professionally at 29 (I've been programming since age 10). I know what being trapped in a job you lost your passion for, and can't get out of, feels like. And I feel very blessed that I found my professional path. I do know that it's not for everyone.

I do like programming as a hobby and a business and I am surely going to continue doing it in next decades.

Doing programming as a job with viable long term career is another topic with quite a few landmines. I am glad I am not into this race anymore.
