I do try to learn more about things like Haskell and D and

when your regular job takes up over 40 hours a week. With
programming, I feel like you can read about something but you
can't really be proficient at it until you use it hands-on and
practice it regularly. So I think it helps to try to find a job
where you can do some of that during work time. I hope to do
that. But then I read here where a lot of you guys have day
jobs not even doing C++ but C programming, I feel like some of
you are in the same boat, and more so because you're more
knowledgeable than me.
So how do you feel about that?

Ironically after D has become part of my daily job I have found
myself being less capable of contribution / participation :)
Before it always felt like relief - being able to hack some nice
D stuff after boring daily C routine. But now I more often find
myself wanting to try something different simply for the sake of
change.
