Hobby coders looking all put-together while professional devs resemble caffeinated zombies? Yep, that tracks.
Nothing ages you like the sweet combination of impossible deadlines, legacy code maintenance, and 3AM production outages. Meanwhile, weekend coders get to work on whatever shiny new framework catches their eye without ever dealing with JIRA tickets or explaining to management why "just adding that small feature" will take two weeks.
The energy drink is just the cherry on top of our slow descent into the void. Worth it though... I think?
