"As a programmer, designing and integrating systems is always appealing. My only recommendation about this career choice is that you find the genre you're interested in before you seek a job. If you work on games, you need the games mindset. If you work on software for professional development, that's a completely different place you need your head at."
"I've been hooked on programming since the first time I got a block pixel to appear on an Apple IIe in 1983. There's a sense of magic in being able to tell a machine what to do, and then see the commands come to life as something meaningful and useful to people, enriching their lives, helping with life's mundane tasks, making the impossible possible - and all with a sense of well-crafted, artisanal beauty. Software engineering is the culmination of art, science, and humanitarianism."
