The pros and cons of being a developer

kethmars - Jan 3 '21 - - Dev Community

Hey people!

As developers, it's easy to praise our profession, because, for most of us, we get to do what we love - solve problems through coding.

That said, there can also be negative aspects.

How I see it:

Pros

  • Hobby and work in one
  • Get to work in a field that's praised
  • Get to use my brain
  • IT is part of every industry there is
  • A great community
  • There's always something new to be learned
  • Can use my professional skills for improving personal life
  • Salary's good

Cons

  • Keeping up with new tech can sometimes be overwhelming
  • Long hours behind the computer
  • There's always something new to be learned (I know, it's both good and bad imo)
  • One can easily burn out

So I'd like to ask you:

What do you believe are the pros and cons of being a developer?
