here. This is how users
become developers. They identify a need that only they have, or in a domain
that only they understand well enough to devise a solution. Either by
patching existing software (a hell of a lot easier than you think!) or by
starting something from scratch (goodbye nights and weekends! but hello
personal improvement and satisfaction). Many great free-software projects
started out this way.
I'm 43. I've been working in IT for 20 years. I'm taking my first ever
programming class (Python). The preceding paragraph nicely sums up one of
my reasons.
