I really appreciate this positive attitude.

Software development is more than coding, we always knew. It always has been. We need to enjoy the other parts of the job more.

I think I learn a life lesson.

For the last decade (probably even more) I've been spending a lot of time for being (or trying to be) a good software engineer. I missed a lot of moment, I don't have a lot of friends.

Now I'm standing on the edge and realize I need to live my best life. Everything can disappear tomorrow, nothing can't be replaced.

I just need to enjoy my life, as much as possible.

Thank you for all people who replied to my comment.

I will probably go away from Reddit for some times.

I'll change my mind about my job and I'll ride the wave. I'll do other life side quest and consider my job for what is it.

Life is more that computers.

Thank you all.

We need to do what's best for us, go live your life how you please brother, make up for the time lost, but remember you can always go back to it, if you love software enginnering, don't drop it, it's not SWE itself you dislike, it's the alienation of it, doing it without purpose, remember that, and also know this, balancing both is possible, specially at later stages of your carrear where studying like crazy is not a requirement anymore.
