Its also about ownership (of the end product) for some of us.
I first thought I like coding as I am solving problems. Then I realized its about writing neat code and algorithms, about finding the best way to do things. Later I figured it was about creation and ownership. At that stage, I figured there are a ton of other things I would enjoy as much as coding - new consumer product development of any form (not necessarily to do with computers or tech).
- vikrum 14y agoCalling out ownership as a distinct trait from the creation and subsequent usage is interesting. I think I touched on the incidental rewards associated with ownership (seeing your product used, feeling compelled to fix bugs, pride associated with the result, etc) but hadn't thought of it in particular. I'm glad you brought up the leap you made into other things you might enjoy doing as well. I'm sure I'll use that insight when starting on new endeavors!
