Most people just want to build stuff. Programming is just one way to do that. I took two semesters of computer science in college—working in Java. I hated it.

Most people just want to build stuff. Programming is just one way to do that. I took two semesters of computer science in college—working in Java. I hated it. I just wanted to build websites that did things and those courses didn't get me any closer. I built a bunch of apps that had to be compiled and nobody would ever use them. I swore programming off until I discovered WordPress a year later and started building WordPress themes.
