Ask HN: Anyone here still writing code for reasons other than fun or learning?

1•czhu12•1h ago
I’m curious if anyone here still actually writes code, in any meaningful amount, because they actually still need to. Excluding reasons like fun / learning.

I loved coding in the past, but no matter what I do at this point, I can’t find a reason to anymore that’s actually necessary
