I've found that the best programmers are natural problem solvers that just so happened to be programming. They would be solving problems in another field or in everyday life if they're not programming.
Programming isn't for genius but I do think that you need above average IQ to succeed in it.
- shivajikobardan 4y agowhat fields in IT are good for people with average aptitude.
- shagie 4y agoAn aptitude for what? There are many domains within the umbrella of "IT" - there are lots of problems to be solved. Some people like solving the hardware problems ("my laptop's screen is funny"). Some people like solving the soft user device problem ("I can't log in when I connect from the coffee shop"). Some people like solving the networking problems ("when connecting in with a vpn, I am no longer able to access the external corporate site"). Some people like solving front end problems, some back end problems, some data science, some security, some account management, some job orchestration, ... and so on. There are lots of problems out there to be solved. So which ones do you have an aptitude to solve and are willing to solve the hard problems that come with that particular domain?
