Before and After the Programmer Life [closed]
- by Gio Borje
How were people before and after becoming programmers through a black box? In a black box, the implementation is irrelevant; therefore, we focus on the input and output:
High School Nerd -> becomeProgrammer() -> Manager
(Person Before) -> (Person as Programmer) -> (New Person)
(Person Before) -> (Person as Programmer) How are the typical lives of people before they became programmers? Why do people pursue life as a programmer?
(Person as Programmer) -> (New Person) How has becoming a programmer changed people afterwards? Why quit being a programmer?
Anecdotes would be nice.
If many programmers have similar backgrounds and fates, do you think that there is some sort of stereotypical person that are destined to become programmers?
