Unless you get paid more, you're going to regret in the long term. Money cash is the most important. It's the $$/hr that matter, because money gives you big choices.

So if you are a sucky coder and can't earn cash, go back to your original day job. If you are getting better at coding, invest all the time and commitment to become a better coder, because, unlike what people think, money is important. You can have choices: travel the world, buy whatever you want, donate etc.

I am a developer for 15 years.
