Coding or art?
| Coding is art, just applied art, not fine art. You should try both, if you haven't already, then focus on whichever you're better at. Programming obviously will be more profitable in most cases. If you have any questions about software development, feel free to ask, I've been working in the industry for over 10 years. One thing I can tell you, it's not an exciting job, you probably end up doing relatively simple tasks over and over and it'll drain your passion.
| Do you want a career in programming or something using it? If not just do whichever you enjoy more.
| Coding is art
| Coding if you want career options.
| I find game makers need more good artists than good programmers lately. Why not do both and make your own solo works?
| i wish i could into art
| Start coding get a few bucks buy a drawing tablet thingie start doing digital art get more bucks buy a midi keyboard and software learn music and become a one person indie game studio
| >>124758 >>125033 why would anyone willingly do game development? Maybe I'd understand it as a hobby, but actually working in the industry, or trying to earn money with it yourself, fuck no.
| >>125154 because it's a dream, because it is cool and because web development makes me want to go back in time and become a lawyer instead of a programmer
| I don't think there's anything stopping you from doing both. You'll just need to budget your time effectively (assuming you plan to work on it on a semi-regular schedule rather than just whenever). Even though focussing on one of those would bring progress in that area faster, I think it's important to have diversity in your free time.

This is subjective, take it with a grain of salt. This most often happens to those who wake up, work, come home, sleep. That's it. Those with a deeper passion for programming and software development are the ones who keep their fire alive because it's a hobby and they absolutely enjoy it.
| go into art and draw me some fuckin' good hentai please

| I wanna learn how to code and shit, all that. But I also want to imrove my drawing skills at least. Which should I focus on more? I could do both, but I'll have to focus on on thing at a time
