Can I survive as a fullstack dev without upskilling after hours? Honest answers please

I'm 22, working as a fullstack developer at a startup. 9 hour days, decent enough at my job, but completely switched off after work hours. I don't want to leetcode after work. I don't want to learn new frameworks at night. I want to write, play guitar, and just exist peacefully. I'm not trying to become a senior dev or a tech lead. I just need the salary to sustain while I build something on the side that actually excites me. My question is — how long can someone realistically coast on existing skills without getting fired or becoming unemployable? And what's the bare minimum to stay relevant without burning out? Not looking for "passion for tech" lectures. Just honest experiences from people who've been there. submitted by /u/Available_Guess_7344 [link] [留言]
