I've been in love with coding since forever so I had no plan B. Still don't have a plan B even though in the past I did write (and typeset myself, back in the Quark XPress days on the old, pre OS X, MacOS days and even with typeset one with LaTeX too) a great many books.
So... I'd say my plan B would have been, although I didn't know it, something related to "writing words" instead of "writing code".
I did really enjoy learning typography and typesetting too.
But I don't miss it: I'm glad to be "writing code".
I'm also procrastinating since years on starting a blog for fun (not for profit), which is weird as I've written complete books so a blog doesn't sound intimidating.
