I wanted to be a chef for years, took a few cooking and baking classes when I was younger. Now I’m a software developer. 🤷

It took me actually working in food service to realize that cooking in a restaurant is way different than cooking at home.

I couldn't deal with the stress of a restaurant so now I do cybersecurity for an MSP

you know sometimes life happens and software development is something i wish i could do.

[–] seaneoo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I guarantee you can do it. All it takes is sitting down for a few hours a week and just trying it and figuring out what you like. :)

When I started college, I was thinking I was going to major in music. Took a bunch of music classes, piano, etc. Also a software developer.
