If that works for you great but that's not how it worked for me. I didn't have to think "do I love coding?" I just did it from 8th grade onward because it was extremely fun for me. Similarly for relationships. I've been in love before and I didn't have to ask myself "am I in love" I just knew it "balls to bones" as Neo was told by the Oracle. I didn't have to just keep doing it at wondering if this was really my thing. It was my thing without thinking.

I think he's talking about people who never really jumped into programming. I had an XDCC server up and running by 5th grade, and my own website with decent traffic by 6th. Then I went a different route with my technical affinity. Now I'm back, realizing that this is the path I wish I would have taken; and, instead of lamenting or trying to find other things to fill the programming void, I'm going for it. Sure, it's not as fun - yet - as I remember. But I know that in the end, this is what I want to do.
