Well, I hate to break the news to you. I was the same when I first started, writing code that is. I was a zealot. I was zealous for every new thing I learned, every new language, every new approach, I would find the preacher who was preaching the message I wanted to hear … OOP, functional, Kimball, this, that, the other thing.
You’re young and full of life. You think that your Software career revolves around … software. The pinnacle of your mountain seems to be becoming that “perfect programmer” who can write anything without any bugs.
Yet, when you get to the top of the mountain you find you’ve been deceived. Not all that glitters is gold.
