I’m not who you replied to but I really needed this. I’m working on getting out of being a headhunter (a decent, honest, technically minded one who actually listens, but still with all the bad actors it’s hard to have prod in my career) into software development. I’ve always been fascinated with computers ever since programming my BBC micro first in basic then assembly. Family reasons meant i needed a short term job (12 years ago!) so I put off learning and dropped out of university. I’m able to spend the evenings and weekends learning now -I’m fascinated by iOS development, Swift and learning all the apis. Motivation hasn’t been too hard to find but seeing light at the end of the tunnel has and this post resonated with me because I understood a lot of it and thought that I have come a little way after all. Thanks for taking the time to write this.
