There is a finite group of people who can be happy as a coder. If you don’t like it, you will HATE it

This is quite true, especially when one considers that code cares not a whit about one's "feels." Perhaps these Journalists can take to panhandling. That line of work allows for a lot of human interaction and is a very "outdoorsy" profession. The sticking point is that panhandling IS performance-based, so they may be s**t outta luck.

I write software and neither love it or hate it. I look at it a mental blue collar work that is in demand. Does a plumber love sweating pipe? He doesn’t have to love it to be a successful plumber. Is there joy in getting a program to work? Yes, the feeling lasts about a minute.
