20 or 30 years ago, programming was reserved for people who were truly devoted to it, even when the work was a nightmare of difficulty.

Now, when I talk to programmers in their 20s and 30s and ask which program they first fell in love with, there's usually no answer.

I'm glad they've stopped pretending otherwise.



They fell in love with the money.


Nothing really wrong with that though. The amount of tech used by the average person has also increased dramatically in the same time period.

You could argue the same has happened for computer use in general or for many things.
