> Sounds like the OP was never a "programmer", but rather a farmer trapped inside a programmer's job. I don't think that's really how it works. People are too complex, too dynamic to say someone is definitely X or Y. I've been programming since I was a kid and loved the work, until at one point I didn't anyore and wanted out. I was done with tech. Does that mean I was never a real "programmer"? Was I soldier trapped inside a programmer's job? If I were to become say, a baker after this, will I have been a baker trapped inside a soldier trapped inside a programmer's job? Of course not.
