I got tired of fighting it/ languages got simpler. My pops is a computer technician so I've been around computers all my life. I was familiar with BASIC, DOS, and even Apple's original cli. But it was never enticing for me to get into it, plus no one knew what computers really were capable of outside of word processing, excel sheets, and being better than a typewriter. Most my childhood was just testing waters, and eventually not finding enough resources to commit when I got stuck. Fast forward, I ended up on the track of becoming an Art Director. I was in a finishing school in San Fran and all my teachers hated their jobs, but loved their side hustles, and they were working with engineers from the big five. But when I saw what they were doing, I knew had to jump in (all were just simple sites that generated 1k clicks a day). It's the one job that encourages failure, pushes you to continuously learn, and rewards you for both. I hate it took so long, but I don't regret it.
