Interesting post. I feel the author has had a fairly unlucky stream of companies and work to come to this conclusion. I'm in complete opposite situation. Programming is pretty much the only thing I can do and the only thing I'm good at. I'll choose arguing with a compiler any day over people. I don't particularly like people but I love code. Code is reproducible (arguably!), people constantly change their minds. I hurt myself hanging something on the wall in my bedroom at 16 years old (a long time ago...) My mother laughed at me non stop and she told me "you better be good with computers! Because you are shit at everything else!". That was my career councelling done at 16, thanks mum. Programming, in a nutshell, saved my life and gave me one.
