To give some context, I’m a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not “tasted” programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.
Aside from being a career, I’m curious what got you into coding ?
15 years ago, I thought I wanted to make a game. Turns out, I didn’t.
A few years ago, I sought out Linux. Learning to use it has made me so much more confident and excited about technology. I understood so much more. And yet, it feels like I don’t understand nearly enough. So I’m learning programming so I can start looking through codebases for the projects I use, maybe seeing if I can add new features or fix some bugs that are annoying me. I’ve sort of accomplished that goal for one program. There are also some programs that don’t exist, or don’t exist in the way I want them to that I intend on developing.
I’d like to learn reverse engineering too…
Well, I guess I’m a programmer only by technicality. I haven’t done anything serious and I’m certainly not decent at the art. I’m just curious. 🐇
