Why is it going to waste? Why do you need to build something right away?

I have meant plenty of folks with software engineering backgrounds who do other work.

If you’re not feeling passionate about software engineering at the moment, why force it? I suggest taking a break.

If you want to do a side project, let it come more naturally.

I know people with English degrees in IT and Music degrees teaching school, why would anyone consider this wrong or a waste?
