I think its already too late for me. I've seen too many negative posts about working as a software engineer that I would rather choose to create something on my own.

I've spent most of my spare time programming stuff for Minecraft, because I liked the game and the challenge + appreciation from others. I could programm all night long for this game. Sadly the motivation has faded.

Nowadays I am constantly scrolling hn, watching yt videos etc. in the hope to find something that finally sparks my interest again.

Not sure if I can find this in a 9 to 5 job.
