Re:Ask HN: Is it normal to fall out of love with coding? by julesallen on Wednesday January 09, 2019 @11:04AM (#18865742)
So many awesome answers here. I've been through a similar route and have gone on to do a bunch of roles that had tech at their core but were not coding (so think marketing for SaaS, etc.).

I still code, I still keep up, but I get to do that because it's fun and interesting, not because if I don't do it then I can't eat or have a roof over my head. There's a huge happiness difference in wanting to do it and needing to do it.

If like simplifying difficult concepts and explaining them to people you might want to look at a Sales Engineer role. There's a really great YC graduated bootcamp called Flockjay (https://flockjay.com/ and also read through https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18727360 from a few weeks ago). I've been lucky enough to be accepted for the inaugural batch of students. The whole process with them and the first classes have been so much better than I expected. DM me if you've got any questions.

So pumped and proud to have you in class, and I love that we can help support you. Happy to chat w/ anyone as well re: engineer-to-sales transition. I started Flockjay for this exact reason.
