Coding is a 9-5 job. If you do it independently it's a 24hr. job. Platforms and "standards" constantly changing. That whole space is fragmented and "nitchy" you have to hustle to keep up. Especially if you want to be cutting edge. U can always go work for a large co. but then that's just a 9-5. I guess this applies to a lot of things, but this can slow down your progress. Good luck!
