How interesting. What a striking story.

It reminds me of my path.

When I started college, I had no information about a career in software. I wound up in Physics rather than Electronics, but with similar results. My classwork cratered in my third year.

The odd part is that my story starts in the 1970’s. Even though I was attending high school in Silicon Valley (San Jose), the idea of writing software professionally never came up.

I switched to Computer Science, and it’s all been uphill since. After graduating in the early 1980’s, I’ve worked at Boeing, Microsoft, Google, and a few others.

It’s been a delight keeping up with the evolving technology. I later completed a Master’s degree in Computer Science. Almost the entire time has been building distributed software systems of ever increasing scale.

I can relate to this, I love technologies but i hate those electronics and stuff.

Hardwork always pays off! So Just be yourself.

Nice one dude. Your journey is inspiring 👌

I love that never-give-up attitude; keep it up. One of the best engineers I have worked with. You have a bright future ahead

This was a captivating and humorous read. It is also a testament of your tenacity and hard work. Well done!! 👏🏾

Totally enjoying these pls share more. We shared similar experiences at takealot. The geeking out about having smart people around you that are just as needy as you.

My role was away from software but enjoyed speaking to you software peeps. I was a hobbyist programmer at the time and loved speaking to you guys about your work.

Your transparency here was quite refreshing 👌🏽. Well done! You’ve come a long way✨
