I'm a programmer and an author. They are both arts I practice, learn by doing and know that what I make is my work and comes from my mind in ways that I hope will be interesting and useful to other people.

Why would I wish to stop doing what makes my mind spark and create?

2. It's rare for any creative, including writers, to be able to live solely off their creative income. Moreover, there is no correlation between the creative value of art and the income status of its creator. It's okay to have another gig to eat and pay bills and survive our capitalist hellscape.

At some point, when we know where we’ll be living, we plan to self-host our stuff. Had been thinking of using a Mac, since I already know how to set up a web site on MacOS.

Now? Hello, Linux, my old friend.
