sorry for a weird question but how does one decide to be a barista programmer? is it because you like being barista or is it because programming doesn't pay enough?

That explains the name recognition.

"Could I get your name?" "Bob." "Sorry, I can't help with that!"

Burn out and tired of writing CRUD all day in an office.

Honest question. Is being a barrista better, or just different?

oh I get you... I've been writting CRUD applications for past 2 years. It gets boring some times, but also quite challenging quite sometimes... Been wondering how would it be to work another proffesion. Like now I work as a programmer and don't have any hobies outside of computers but I could be working something else and do programming as a hobby... definitely worse for future money wise...
