The difference is: One you do for fun and one you're told to do for money.

But I love coding at work?!
The problem is that every living entity in a 10 kilometer radius around me, seems to be hellbent on getting me to do anything but coding. Refining work estimates, fixing badge access rights, fixing a driver issue, telling people that you cannot do 1000 things at the same time, teaching the new developer how shit (doesn't) works, mangling Jenkins into a functional state again, explaning that thing I did a year ago but is only now used (it was very high prio a year ago), writing documentation that noboby ever reads, progress meetings, specialty group meetings, knowledge sharing meetings, company wide meetings, etc.
You can always write code for Free Software projects in your free time and contribute to a good cause.
You can use a JavaScript to assembly converter so you get the same pain on your personal projects.
Is there a 6502 backend?
Tell me more, I’ve almost achieved webasm
Wouldn't that just be a JavaScript compiler?
Well, if you put it that way ... yes.
Amazing how you can work 8 hours without it ever stopping being 1 am. Human beings really are amazing when they are motivated
Motivation: AKA, Chronic Insomnia.
