If you go for it, you can go wrong. It may cost contempt or loneliness. It may not be legal. I studied for four years a degree in social sciences, totally useless for the development of my current job. I worked hard in jobs utterly unrelated to computer science. I spent tons of time in my sport career. And I don't regret nothing. Only if you live the way you want, you will become who you are.

However, this would not justify a lower level, because of that I'm going madness with coding. My whole life became programming. It is full passion and enthusiasm. I've always like computers, I can remember my very first computer: an iMac G3 collected from the garbage. And it worked perfectly! That experience, the sound of keys being pressed by my fingers, the smell of the hot wires, that magic sound that my router did; every time I heared I remember R2D2.

Probably my two biggest weaknesses are curiosity and pride. Pride in the challenges. I still don't know why studied political science, or spent time improving my soccer skills, but I think it was because those weaknesses. The same that push me to coding. Curious to know how states and societies function is the same as knowing how a processor works. Proud to beat the challenge of voting behavior is the same as to achieve that these damned api works properly.

As anyone, I do not know what the future holds. But I'm convinced it will be related to programming. Coding is something really nice. Something simple, I would even say sensible. So sensitive it can be ephemeral. Do you know that feeling that you have finally found something truly valuable?
