I'm a software developer, as a kid I always saw myself as being an architect or a director. But by chance I took on the idea of doing computer science at uni because I could actually get a job with that pretty easy. I loved it. Completely clicked with me and my puzzle solving brain. Some people long for their young school days but for me Uni was the best and that's just because I thoroughly enjoyed what I was learning. Been in the industry for about 6ish years, maybe less, maybe more. I'm now a Lead but I still enjoy every chance I get to flex my brain muscles at cracking something with code. 9/10.

Only a 9 because there are still "those moments" that any other developer will know exactly what I mean.
