In other words, you wasted time and energy becoming a programmer/software developer/whatever.
Should have done something else.
This is only true if you weren't paid for your work all those years (which, then, it was just a hobby).
But more importantly, this is only relevant for vomiting boilerplate code. I don't know about you but I always did a lot more than that.
