So I'll use my personal life as a guide: I met my wife, we fell head over heels for each other, and she's been my girlfriend or wife for 25+ years now. Lesson: Find something you are passionate about and chase it. In my professional career, I've worked in many places, I've been a systems programmer working in the kernel, I've been a UI guy. I've worked in React, I've been C coder. My specialization is: Having been there and done that. Being able to do many things is a strength. You can adapt as your role changes, which is essential. Because if I've learned anything in 25+ years of software development: You job will change. You will change. Be ready to change with them.
