my best advice for getting into tech 2024 tech is open to anyone with enough grit. it's hard, it's really really hard. harder than a lot of people will tell you. it continues to be hard and i suspect it's getting harder * some bugs take an enormous amount of investigation * sometimes you work with someone that drives you nuts * tech can be numbingly boring learn to love the process. i never had the privilege of "doing something i loved because..." (broke/threatened with murder) but i learned to love the pain and i learned to love the process to this day i am regularly rediscovering it, regularly stoking desire and passion for tech. i have no idea how anyone makes it for 30 years without a desire, hope, and passion, but most of all, a touch of love even the most boring tasks can be the greatest teachers
