Similarly, I’m thankful for my good fortune in going to a high school that offered programming classes; for having enough computer-savviness to become a software developer; that this field is unregulated enough that someone like me can earn an almost-unconscionably-good living doing something that, like you said, would be a hobby anyways. I have my dream job, I have a beautiful son and partner, our family is in good health, and are aware of the areas that we should be working to better ourselves... I just hope to make enough of a positive impact from the incredible head start the universe has given me. I’m thankful for this chance to play the game, and I’m thankful that the game exists to be played.
