I think everyone has a chip on their shoulder but we don't really show it to people.

For me, while I was studying in university, I never dream of myself being a professional programmer since I was literally drowning in school work losing my passion to be a programmer.

So directly out of school, I choose to become a salesman for a tech startup. Thinking since I can't code, I could do well by just being in the tech industry.

Luckily after multiple twisted and turns, I stumbled across that you can get a job as python developer using Django. That was my aha moment which I'm grateful that I'm developing professionally by using python till this day.
