Re: Learning - What we have to do vs. What we enjoy

So, I put to you: When and how did you learn to associate what you HAVE to do (as a coder or otherwise) and what you love (code or otherwise), and who or what helped you see the relationship to bridge the gap?

I learnt a long time ago that the only way to remain sane doing a job is to find one that is what you would be doing if you had enough money that you didn't need to work.

For me, that has meant moving with the flow of technology, from Expert Systems (1988), MS Windows (1989), GUIs for UNIX (1990), XWindows (1991), The 'Net' (1991), E-Commerce (1995) and big fibre networks (1997).
Each time, looking to leap onto the wave just as it is gathering momentum, so that I can "be there" when it peaks.
So far it has worked...

As for the 'Art' bit, I consider playing with Perl programs to be "art".
