There is a saying, "DO what you like, the money will follow". While admitted that is rather trite, there is in it also truth. If you really like programming, strive to become a true craftsperson in software development. Learn more than just writing code, learn all the aspects of writing well-crafted, solid, high quality code that someone else will enjoy using. Getting a job is a means to something else; money to do other things with. Being a software craftsperson is a worthy goal. Sure, life is bigger than writing software, but just like the cabinet maker who loves their craft, they have other passions, hobbies, social lives, and so on. Be a whole person. Be a craftsperson. Expand your current horizon, see the vast opportunities there are, even at this very spot your find yourself, for learning, growing, practicing, perfecting. Also remember that software development, the whole of it, is a social process and endeavour. The things we use to make it are our tools, and what we make might also become our tools, but we make software for people to use and enjoy (even if said software is invisible to them). And, as Dami=C3=A1n says, take time to meet with others, talk with others, learn with others. As you get more comfortable, start contributing to projects, even if its documentation, testing, and so on, the actual code is not *everything* in software. Learn to research, learn to write, learn to look beyond the immediate answer to something deeper, more profound, possibly, but always more fitting. And if it doesn't exist, make it!
