Hey O, This is the 2nd or 3rd article I have read of yours and I like your perspective.
One thing that resonated for me was 'know what fields are out there.' For a long time, I thought programming was just using C which seemed so opaque to a self-taught programmer. Not only that I heard many titles bandied about but they weren't fully described. To me, devops and QA are still foreign.
Maybe you could tell people more about job descriptions and your impressions. TY
