I spend half my time teaching programming and half my time doing programming. I have to constantly remind myself that teaching is valid work too, even if it doesn't feel as "productive" because I'm not making progress on an "actual project." It takes time and energy. I forget that almost every day and then feel frustrated when I'm burned out from it.
@kev_mcg who do you teach? College or highschool level kids?
also, what language(s)?
@maguireja I teach web development, mostly adults out of school, through an online bootcamp program and a small local class where I live. Mainly frontend stuff and backend JavaScript.
@maguireja Thanks! That's the dream!
@kev_mcg right on.
good luck - hopefully your classes can launch someone's successful career
