Computers have been a hobby all my life. I well remember the epiphany I felt while learning Logo in elementary school, at the moment I understood what recursion is. I don't think the fact that the language I have mostly written code in in recent years is Emacs Lisp is unrelated to the above moment. Yet I have never desired to work as a professional software developer. I majored in history and Spanish in college while working for the university's Unix systems group. My computer skills got me my first job out of college, in an investment bank's tech equity research group; my manager was looking for a CS major but I was able to convince her that I had the equivalent thereof. I'm glad, for the sake of civilizational and economic progress, that others are able and willing to program for pay. Meanwhile I will continue to putter around with Elisp at home.
