Same issue at my job.
So, in what way would you want to develop? What skills would you like to learn?

Me internally:
What do you mean? I am employed here. You guys know what shit needs to be done. If you need C programing, send me to study C. I know that my study of cosplay cuts ain't gonna give me a rise here.

@LukeAlmighty @alex People have this really bizarre idea in their head that they aren't ultimately working for a living

@NEETzsche @alex
On one hand, I do get, that people are retarded, but on the other hand, it's your job. It's hard for me to imagine getting this delusional.

@NEETzsche @alex
I would even say, that I have lost my love for CS, when I got hired. It happens to everyone.

But, it was fucking worth it. You can have family, charities, hobbies, anything, as long as your 1 job is paying for it.

Obviously, you must not be suffering there. But my job is a survival mechanism, not a fucking hobby anymore. All potential friends in there? Cogs in the machine until the day they quit.

@LukeAlmighty @alex I mean, don't get me wrong, I never lost interest in programming, but the work I do for pay is done, well, for pay. It's not done for fun.
@LukeAlmighty @alex It's also worth noting that mixing extremely lucrative business with pleasure is not impossible. It's just very atypical. And people should be realistic about that.
