Did you have a passion for computing when you started? I always come across people who ‘want to get into tech’ because of the perceived salary or lifestyle. I’m assuming most would be bad or fail in their objectives, but would support people I think could achieve their goal - trouble is I’m not sure which characteristics would differentiate the two groups.

- pksebben 4y agoI always thought computers were super cool, but tbh I don't think I really knew enough to have that passion until I learned what code really was. Maybe I was lucky that it fit into my interests, or maybe I sniffed out what was under the surface without really knowing, but not really. When I think really attracted me at first was, I liked the idea of a job that would keep me intellectually engaged and allow me to work remote. This quickly evolved into a deeper love once I realized how code really works - the way that it allows you to think. It feels a little like I've rewritten my own mental source code after learning the stuff. I for sure think differently about the world than I used to. I have always had a weird obsession with systems thinking; perhaps that helped. If it were just about the money, Id've quit. Money's not interesting enough to do something I hate.
