Same is true for just about most things in life.
This guy found he was naturally drawn to it. End of story.
I wanted to program computers from when I was a kid and my dad showed me how to draw coloured circles on the screen. And now, I have a job in tech, part support, part coding.
But the thing is, I'm not very good at the coding part. I'm also quite lazy and hate practising things I'm not very good at, so I don't put in the work to get better.
Meanwhile I've seen coworkers come and go and maybe been a bit scornful of them because they seem to be only in it for the money, or they don't know things "everyone should know", maybe they don't even seem to want to ("pfft, what kind of boring loser would even care about that stuff"). But, they've been much better coders than me: they've picked stuff up faster, they've put in more work, they've gone on to new, better-paid, more interesting jobs. And well done them.
(It's a good, encouraging story for beginners who are drawn to it though, I agree with that part.)
Btw, it irks me that you don't capitalize the first letter of your sentences but still properly capitalize "I".
blame my phone.
I'm just in it for the money. I've achieved success, I'm really good at my job and I'm still going strong almost 20 years later. Wouldn't do it if it didn't pay the bills.
