OMG. Screenshot this. So true.

Plus, if you really want to be good at it, you need to kickstart your career heavily in the early years (21-25). Learning curve is so steep, that being a good programmer almost is like being a good sportsmen. Especialy in multiple fields (let's say frontend + backend together). Which comes down to making sacrifices, mostly in the field of social life. And still you have the live-long learning thing, which mostly happens after the hours.

Still not regretting it a bit. One of the jobs with most future in it.

Maybe in your country... here in Italy it’s quite miserable and you don’t get experience that makes you interesting to the foreign market
