As someone who also traded drugs for programming, I find this incredibly inspiring.

Programming has become my purpose and the thing that brings me joy. Unfortunately, they way I have to program at work really sucks the joy out of it. I would gladly take a pay cut to be able to work on things and in a manner that bring me joy again.

I haven't written something for fun since high school. 22 years ago. But I've been a professional programmer ever since.
