As a European programmer, the comma-period-decimal struggle is real.

Most higher level programming languages don't accept commas, so decimals are started by a period, and thousands can sometimes (varies by language) be separated by underscores.

For example, these are all valid number notation:

1.00
0.000001
1_000.00
1_000_000
1_0_0_0_0_0_0.0_0

If you use the final one frequently, though, your employment may experience a period too.

I have had the same with my job as IT developer. It was a hobby for years but then I got paid and did my hobby paid, making the hobby less fun.

Now that I've grown in my job, I'm more in IT architecture, and less writing code loosely, which makes the hobby field of IT available and fun again.
