Has a software engineer or artist here been enlisted before, having to quit almost all of their hobbies and professional development? If yes, could you share your experience, especially around getting back to living a normal life after your conscription ended?

@rdnt@hachyderm.io My conscription was before my career started, when I was 18. I can tell some things though, if you want.

@rdnt@hachyderm.io Not exactly, but my year of mandatory military service was actually one of my most productive years, because I got to think of programming problems for a week and then coded on the weekends (when I had free weekends).
