> "Did you code for fun in high school?" might be a useful question now, because software development as a field is so young that high school students can try out significant work easily.
In a way it might be a way to weed out people who are reluctant to try something new. someone who only coded in highschool, a somewhat antisocial hobby, went through college and still only wants to code maybe didn't try anything new.
- ivanche 8y agoHave I understood correctly? Somebody who found his passion early in life and wants to pursue it further should be penalized for that?
- tayo42 8y agoI had a feeling this would be misinterpreted. I wasn't sure how to word it but no. It's possible to find your passion at a young age. I'm skeptical though. I think it would be a question to branch off of if your discussing it with someone. At 13 how much do you really know, or even really experienced. Lately I have been thinking that passion is something learned.
