1. “I am a veterinarian and recruiting is way more straightforward”

2. “Also I just changed jobs and was able to write code quickly because they were recruiting with tasks in mind for me.”

Is no one else confused by this? How common is a coding veterinarian and why do veterinarians write code?



I program as a day job and kept a small nightly gig as a veterinarian, which was indeed my degree.

How common is coding as a hobby? I used to code as a teenager as many here. Made the switch for many reasons.


I just took it to mean they were a veterinarian and now they work as a programmer.


But the first is in present tense, and the second says jobs not fields. It’s enough to be very unclear.
