I 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.
