There are plenty of cases where programmers only start programming for real at a post-college job. The majority case, even.
That said, sure. There are differences in substance, history, everything. Those might be the reason for differences between professions, but the question is "how much?"
I think we overemphasize legible, logical reasons for culture, but often it's incidental reasons path dependence, demographics, etc.
- partyboat1586 6y agoI think that programmers who first start programming for real at a post college job don't make significant career progression by 27 unless they are very talented. You are looking at outliers and saying look these outliers don't exist in accounting and law, and you would be right because very few people in those professions are so crazy about them that they live and breath it.
