Coincidentally this is how I know what I am made to do. I've stopped programming on personal stuff for months at a time to solve burnout. Yet, I always manage to get the spark reignited, drop every other hobby, and focus on what I love doing. I've lost a lot of friends this way (sorry can't do X, I'm working on a project) but generally people don't understand anyway.

Sometimes separation makes the heart grow fonder, even in tech.
