Do you ever 'code' on your own spare time for fun?

Me? Hell no!

 

[SpoonyBard]

No, I hate coding.

 

[Lord Error]

Yes, I code and design at spare time. It's actually my hobby as well as my job

 

[Error Macro]

I used to, but not very much. Just to test out a few things I would think of randomly. Then I got sick of CS altogether, so I changed over to business. Then I guess I got sick of college altogether, 'cause then I dropped out.

 

[rastex]

If I'm working then no, if I'm in school then no. If I'm in between, then yes.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I enjoy making simple games and such in my free time.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

No. And that's why I'm going back to school. I hate my job.

 

[Dyne]

I crap around sometimes, but only so I can be "ahead of the pack" in my classes and labs. It pays off and I usually leave early after helping people.

 

[Minotauro]

No, I hate coding.

Yep.

Man, I need to escape.

 

[Phoenix]

Do you ever 'code' on your own spare time for fun?

Me? Hell no!

Yes all the time. I write enterprise code and graphics code all the time.

 

[FightyF]

I do but I absolutely HATE programming. I do like seeing results, especially game related results (graphics and audio related). So I do some DX stuff, OpenGL stuff, just coz I can.

 

[slayn]

yes I no

I like coding in my spare time. And if I can get myself to do it I actually enjoy it. The problem is motivation. Not just for programming. To do anythign constructive I require a deadline and pressure and stress to get it done. I wish I spent more of my free time coding and learning maya on my own but instead I just end up reading or playing video games or browsing gaf. The one way I've managed to do some neat stuff is apply things I want to do for school.

Hence, my gba project atm for my software engineering class.

 

[maharg]

I'm getting out of coding as a profession because it saps all the fun out of it for me. So no, but only because I stopped finding it fun. The goal is to find the fun in it again when I don't *have* to do it anymore.

 

[fart]

mostly i just post on gaf, dude.

 

[Azih]

A little bit. Very little.

 

[gofreak]

I design in my head more than I code. I often think about problems or how to solve a particular design issue at the weirdest times.

 

[carbonbased]

No, I hate coding.

Same here, which is why I dropped comp sci and am now working on my Government major.

 

[Hsieh]

Yes, but only video games.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I just switched from Computer Science to International Business this year. I'm enjoying it a lot more (financing, accounting, and so on). I didn't particularly mind coding, although the whole scene was getting a tad boring. But college CS people are pretty much my least favorite kind of people.

 

[CrunchyB]

I code for work and school. I do very little coding in my spare time (what spare time?) but my work does allow me a large degree of freedom, I can mess around for a few hours trying different things.

 

[marko]

Nah, get enough code writing in at work, plus don't really have anything fun to program.

 

[Lathentar]

Not really much anymore. My free time coding is for the research that is required for school. I also had a volunteer position that required me to code a lot and that was a great way to learn new things and stay motivated.

 

[TheOMan]

Well I do code in my spare when I'm motivated and if I'm *extremely* bored (mostly proofs of concepts for certain design architectures that I consider from time to time). However, for the business that I'm hoping to get off the ground shortly, I'm gonna have to code quite a bit in my spare time since I have a day job. Hopefully I can motivate myself to do it in a reasonable period of time.

Why do you ask?

Also, aren't you the guy in the lab on internship in Toronto? If so, how are things going out there. I told one of my friends you were coming, but he said he hasn't seen/heard any new interns (well, new back then).
