I was born in 1971, my first exposure to a computer was an Apple II running Logo in one of my gifted classes. I was hooked at that moment. My main hobby today at 52 is still coding. At work I am an analytics architect. Pretty much means I help design everything, but I also do a lot of the coding. I hate web development, especially the Angular/Typescript stuff we do, but I make up for it by doing my own thing (assembler and C) on my own stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever stop enjoying it.

As a quick follow up. When I started development professionally in 1996, it definitely wasn’t for money. My roommate who was a waitress in a nice restaurant here in Atlanta made twice what I brought home. I just loved that I went into work each day and got paid to solve problems. I see so many developers these days that are just in it for the money, and they’re really not enjoyable to work with.

I love Web Development and have been doing it for the past 20 years. Your post makes me wonder if in 20 more years I might still love web development but hate the new thing that will take over like web development did.
