Try learning a 2nd/3rd/etc language? I tried the whole hobby thing and realized I love work and that is all I want to do.

Emphatically, no.

Not sure you're going to get too many votes for that one.

I can associate with this issue. I became a full time proffesional develop three weeks ago. Since then, I have done like 30 minutes of code at night. It is just so not appealing to me right now. Don't get me wrong. I love coding, but I also like being able to do other things when I am not coding. Since now I am coding during the day and not coding at night, I have time for other things.

Ninja... You could try learning a new language?

I've been working with Javascript and C++ lately for this reason.

My hobbies outside of PHP.

To be honest I'm a little bit of a lad still who likes to go out to mad parties and hit a few breaks nights. I play badminton too. Coding never feels too much like a chore to me luckily. There's enough variation in my work to keep my mind entertained. If I'm bored of the coding I'll do some documentation or work on the servers. If I'm bored of it completely I'll go out for a coffee (I can get out of the office like this if I want to).

I think you're just hitting a point where you're doing too much at once perhaps? You've come a heck of a long way since you joined this forum and a huge part of that learning seems to have been done more recently when the learning curve you were riding got a lot steeper. Keep at it, just sit back and absorb things for while. I find it quite therapeutic to cherry pick nice bits of my code and store them away in an archive for re-use every few months too.

not if you hobby and profession is same... like me. I loooove to code.. :D
I think thats a given for *everyone* on a forum such as this...but as if anyone never gets tired of coding...You'd either be lying or dual personality, in which case I suggest you boot back to reality :P

The Classic Matrix Question: What is Real? How do you define real?

If the things you want to see, hear & feel are real, then yes... this is real :)

How do you define real? :P

You sound like my sister...so tied up in psuedo-science...she tends to forget that quantum physics is still mostly theory. :P

Right into though, from a spiritual perspective...the mindset that: "If one believes one will become" which suggests if you believe your a orange...you must be an orange. :P

If you think hard enough, you could walk through that wall...the mind is a powerful thing.

Here's what real in my world:

1) If you run into a wall (quantum physic aside) the laws of nature take action and push you equally as hard. *Ouch*

2) No matter how much you think you can fly (acid intake pending) unless you have some kind of lifting surfaces or apendages that I don't (swinging willy around like a helicopter won't make you fly it'll just make you happy) again the laws of nature take action and you will go either no where fast or drop like a stone.

Considering that a human's terminal velocity is approx: 120 MPH consider yourself dead if you jump from anything more than a couple stories. :P

These basics laws of physics seem to escape those who ask the question "define reality?" :P

Simply put, if it hurts, it's likely *real* if it's to good to be true (minus Ubuntu of course) it probably is.

Cheers :)
