If someone is obsessed with car parts they can become a good mechanic if they choose to pursue it.
But isn't the other thing possible? Someone starts to learn about car parts by being a mechanic apprentice and then falls in love with it and learn more?
Many many people who are good at programming say that they loved the craft from when they were a kid and built projects in the home computer.
What if someone wasn't fortunate enough to have a computer at home? Is there anyone who learnt programming later in a course or in some other way just to see what this new thing is and then fell in love and eventually dived in?
What is your story?
