Thanks for sharing this. I went through a similar arc, substituting Assembly with late 90's html/js/css. I initially enjoyed it but ultimately found it all a pretty shallow pool. Lacking the sublime. So in college I cold-shouldered the CS department in favor of the Math. I ended up deeply enjoying abstract algebra and cryptology. I then left college with a larger student debt payment than rent. I didn't see a financially stable path with the tools I'd honed. In desperation I took a basic web shop job. A software engineering career transpired. A couple decades later, on strange days, I sometimes wonder how I ended up stuck in the shallow pool, or if that's even such a bad thing.
