Load up the resentful pioneer module, Billy.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI am not resentful. It's a pretty normal thing when a profession gets more professional and is considered highly paid. It attracts people who aren't naturally attracted to the job. From observation a lot of doctors aren't that enthusiastic about their profession either but do it for the reputation and money.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoThere is definitely a division between people who are attracted to the profession because they have an intrinsic interest and those looking for extrinsic rewards. I bet asking what age someone started programming is as good an interview question as any other.
- SomethingOrNot 8y agoI would fail that interrogation. :-)
- maxxxxx 8y agoI'd fail that too. I didn't have the money to get a computer. But I am mechanical engineer and in my first job I quickly was the guy who wrote macros for our CAD system instead of doing designs with it. I never liked using the CAD system but I loved writing code for it. That would indicate a natural attraction to writing code.
